summer

here is a list of what I love about summer.

the ripe peaches that perfume my kitchen.  there is no better smell on earth.

hanging baskets of flowers on the porch.

the smell of fresh cut grass.

the sun as he stays up late.  and gets up early.

evening walks with the husband and canine.

not freezing all the time.

my peonies.

farmers markets.

a different wardrobe.

the way the grill smells.

throwing all the windows and doors open and welcoming the breeze through the house.

the adrenaline rush of a good quality severe storm.  we've been fighting with one since about 5 pm and she'll be going strong until 2 am.  it was exciting enough to bring lady and some pillows [?? justin's idea] into the basement.
