Tastes of summer...
...the highest sky hung with purely ornamental clouds, and no chance of rain
...grape tomatoes drenched in olive oil and garlic and ribbons of snipped basil
...frozen grapes eaten while standing at the freezer door, my face being blasted with cold air
...a welcome shower after an afternoon spent at the pool
...dogs eschew their beds and the carpeting for the cool comfort of hardwood floors, where they stretch out like frogs
...the slightly sweet pain of sunburn on the backs of my calves
...book after book after book read on the porch, in bed, at the pool, at the beach
...open windows at night
How did I wait my whole life to discover that I love this season?
Happy Summer!
