early july
I love this part of summer. The breezy dresses. Sleeping sprawled beside the breeze of a lazy fan. Staying up late with friends. Drinking outside. Eating outside. Being sweaty. Long days. Slow walking. Ripe berries. Sweat peas. Reading too much. Music on the streets. Cute girls biking. Cute boys biking. Too hot to cook. White wine. Cool showers. Sitting on the porch. Let’s get ice cream.
Summer in early July is a freshly ripe vegetable.
What is this time of year like for you?
I’m with you, Lindsey! I love this time of year, too. Every year I love it even more. It brings me back to the carefree days of my youth when the only summer tasks I challenged myself to was reading through a stack of library books, riding my bike, and keeping cool. This was usually done by way of hosing off with our cold well water and then keeping still enough to dry slowly. Ahhhhh….
