You know it’s summer when you get out the red-white-and-blue for a fun Memorial Day Celebration, and the swimsuits hang on the bannister to dry….along with the towels.
You know it’s summer when you fix great big chocolate sheet cakes to take on picnics…possibly to share, or maybe not.
You know it’s summer when you hear the cicadas along with the birds and crickets while sitting on the porch swing after sunset.
You know it’s summer when your boys come home from hikes with poison ivy.
You know it’s summer when you tell your boys to put on the poison ivy blocker before they go on hikes….and they don’t.
You know it’s summer when your car has sandy beach footprints in it.
You know it’s summer when you live in the South and your AC breaks on a holiday weekend and you barely have oxygen for five days.
You know it’s summer when you lose that anemic-look and have a rosy glow from the sun.
You know it’s summer when the magnolias bloom alongside the gardenias.
{AKA: gaaaaaahhhhhhhhdeeeeenyas}
The smell of fresh-cut grass, the sound of bees, the sea-salt air………
What are signs that summer has arrived for you?
Ready to enjoy summer~
