Summertime

and the living's easy

at least

almost

right about now
is the time of year
when it becomes
incredibly difficult
to do school work

or any kind of work
really

last night
i started hanging our porch flags

and i may
or may not
have picked up a couple of pots
of cherry red impatiens
at the market

truth is
i just about live for summer

warm nights
relaxing on the front porch
sippin' a frosted glass of sweet tea

{via}

loads of sunshiny days
spent poolside
perpetually smelling of sunscreen

fireworks
parades


lots and lots of
sparklers

{via}

cookouts with friends

watermelon
popsicles
dripping their juices down small chins

kids running around
clad in as little as they can get away with

mostly
swimsuits and sweat

running in the house every so often
to feel the sweet coolth of the indoors

and rushing out again
screen door slamming hard


oh yeah


it's coming soon
