Summer Dreamin'

Could summer and heaven be the same thing? Or could heaven be like the most ideal summer day and night?
  • clear blue skies, warmth, gentle breezes
  • evenings without bugs
  • beaches and pools and swimming and sand without sunburn and rashes and swallowing bad water or getting swimmers ear
  • camp fires and smores
  • BBQ and cold salads and lemonades and fresh fruit and frozen treats
  • family and friends and parties and picnics
  • naps
  • books and board games and baseball
  • bike rides
  • walking into sweltering heat
  • sweating
  • walking into cool air conditioning
  • boats and lakes and sailing and hammocks
  • umbrella drinks
  • photos
  • reunions with long ago friends
  • lazy conversations and vacation post cards
  • vacation anticipation
  • coming home
  • sleeping with the windows open
  • cool nights after hot days
  • sunglasses and the smells of sun screen
  • bubbles and kites and blankets on the grass
  • outdoor concerts
  • tiki torches and patio parties
  • beer in washtubs of ice
  • bare feet
  • sidewalk chalk and scraped knees and summer love
  • freedom
  • farm markets
  • fire works and root beer floats and county fairs
  • staying up too late just because
  • sunsets
  • thunderstorms
  • playing in the rain
  • sunrises
  • birds
  • flowers and green grass and trees with leaves
  • tan and freckled and peeling kids faces
  • the smell of the pool on the hottest day in August
  • the super darkness of a movie theater in the middle of a summer afternoon
  • road trips and surprises and butterflies
  • unexpected kisses and magic moments
  • the feeling of knowing you're making a memory the moment you're doing it
  • feeling alive

Time for you to play along, add to the ideal summer heaven list. I can't wait to hear what would be on your list!
