Ahhh, Memories...

Do you ever think about those special quirky little things of summer that make you wish winter would hurry up and be over? Like running through the grass barefoot in your pajamas in the morning and getting your feet wet from the dew. And closing your eyes and spreading out your arms while swinging and imagining that you are flying. Eating watermelon and getting it all over your face… and arms… and clothes… and the table. Digging in the dirt for no reason at all. Chasing butterflies that you know you’ll never catch. Jumping out of bed and running to the nearest window when you hear fireworks at night. Turning on the hose, spraying it at just the right angle to see little rainbows, getting everything in sight wet (including pets and little brothers), and then walking through the water puddles and stepping on the dry spots in the concrete to make footprints. Running and falling down in the grass just for the fun of it. Picking flowers for mom whether she wants you to or not. Decorating yourself with flowers and other things. Smelling the wonderful scent of dad cooking steaks on the grill. Washing the car, and spending a much longer time than it should take doing it, because you enjoy it so much. (For who knows what reason.) Naming every caterpillar you find. Having sleepovers with your friends and laughing your head off all night long. Putting all sorts of different stuff in the freezer to make into popsicle-type things. Having the wind in your face and in your hair (messing it up) from the open car window. Laying on the trampoline and staring up at the sky… I love summer! Luv it, luv it, luv it.
