The smells of summertime:

lilacs
magnolias
cut grass
salty air
smoke from a barbecue
suntan lotion
rain


The sounds of summertime:

thunder rolling
lawn mower
ice cream truck
crashing waves
bat striking a baseball
lawn sprinkler
diving board bouncing
motor boat buzzing
roller coaster screams



The sights of summertime

fireflies at night
sun flowers in a garden
campfires flickering
sailboats on a lake
fireworks colors
water skier
lightning illuminating a cloud
a hammock between two trees
sea gulls running from a wave
lemonade stands
moon reflection on water
clouds drifting lazily in the sky



The tastes of summertime

watermelon
blackberry pie
corn on the cob
vine ripe tomatoes
hot dogs
blueberries
plumbs
iced tea
cucumbers


The feel of summertime

hot sand on bare feet
cool pool water
sunburn
air conditioning
cool grass on bare feet
hot car
stubbed toe
night breeze through hair
rocking in porch chair


quotes about summertime:


Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.* ~Henry James


Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.* ~Sam Keen


The summer night is like a perfection of thought.* ~Wallace Stevens


A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.* ~James Dent


Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.* ~Russel Baker


Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~Ada Louise Huxtable



Enjoy your Summer :)
