A List of Summer Magic

Giant sunflowers reaching for the sky

Busy bird feeders

Watermelon and juicy berries

Blowing bubbles

Open windows at night with the sounds of crickets and frogs

Sun-kissed skin and new freckles

Meals outside at the picnic table

Kiddie pools and lawn chairs

Country music

Butterflies visiting the yard

Reading on a blanket

Sun tea brewing on the back step

Swinging on the swings until the sun goes down

Dresses and bare feet

Long days

Mountain drives with the windows down

Glass-bottled sodas

Watching distant fireworks from the trampoline

Meadowlarks singing

Small town concerts and parades

Cottonwood fluff floating through the air

Iced coffee

Blue sky days and breezy afternoons

Strolling through a farmer’s market

Pink sunsets
