summer; so far

Strawberries and cherries that taste like they should. Lightening bugs that smolder in the darkness. The sun's heat on my skin forming new freckles. Mandatory uniform of sunglasses, capri pants or skirts, t-shirts. Wanting to eat watermelon. Deviled eggs and friends. Fireworks of the big fat caliber. The lake, bright and teal. Sitting outside just because. Daylight lasting well into the night. A ride on a Ferris wheel. The wind in my face. Chasing bunnies through grass at the conservatory. Scratching mosquito bites.

Maybe it's just that this winter in particular seemed interminably long and that's why summer seems so intoxicating...
