Summer ABCs

 

A simple post

Last summer, as I relaxed on the couch with my sunburnt shoulders, dirt under my nails from the garden, my pomegranate lemonade sweating all over the end table, and the fan whirring lazily above me, I couldn’t help but think of all of the things I love about summer time. Now, going into March with 10-foot snow piles on either side of the driveway and negative degree weather, I’m really trying my best to summon summer back into my life.What were those summer favorites I brainstormed then? I’d like to share a few with you today. Whether they’re things to eat, to do, to look at, or even just ideas, I present:

My Summer Loves

Avocados, asparagus, aloe, after-sun lotion, air conditioner 

Beachy style, bananas, birthday, bare feet, bullet journal

Cuticle oil, coconut oil, charcoal teeth whitener, campfires, cucumbers, corn on the cob, church meetings

Dogs, dragon fruit

Eggs, exercise, early mornings
