It's Summer now that school is out and Memorial Day has passed. I guess officially we have a few more weeks, but I've never been very official.
Cantaloupe--I don't care for it myself, but all of my family does. That smell always means summer to me.
Fresh mown grass
Hot cotton -- when a kid we used to make a tent on Grandma's clothes line with some of her quilts. The smell of them in the hot sun was a wonderful smell. I still enjoy taking a quilt out and letting it warm in the sun.
State Fair smells
Sunscreen
Dirt
Koolaid
The sights of summer:
Kids running through sprinklers
Checkered tablecloths
Mountain lakes
Storm clouds
Kids riding bikes at dusk
Wildflowers
Too much skin
Fireworks
The sounds of summer:
Kids squealing as they run through sprinklers
Crickets
Cicadas
Bees
Ice Cream Trucks
Fans
The touch of summer:
The breeze from the fan
Cool water
Damp grass
Cotton clothes
Gravel under bare feet
Itchy mosquito bites
The tastes of summer:
Watermelon
Lemonade
Iced tea
Ice cream
Corn on the cob
Fresh green beans
BBQ
