Yesterday, I went over to my daughter's to visit my grandkids. We looked at their new baby bunny, wandered through the vegetable garden, swung on the swings and poked sticks in the ant holes of what my grandson referred to as his ant farm. It was wonderfully warm even in the shade where we sat talking on a blanket in the grass. Then we moved to the kids picnic table, about three times smaller than the park sized picnic tables. My daughter brought out the watermelon and we all dove in.
With my first bite nostalgia settled over me. That first bite had all the taste and feel of summer's gone by. It's really very amazing how the taste and smell a things can bring back a memory or feeling of somewhere you've been or a moment in your life. I took another bite, but it didn't evoke the same feelings as the first one.
What makes you feel or taste summer?

a list of summer nostalgia.
-All widows rolled down driving down a coast line, car filled friends all in silence taking in by the sun and the loud summer music blasting from the car stereo.
-All the fans turned on in the house.
-Girls in sun dresses
-Loving everything that reminds you about summer, but accepting change and growth each year.
Summertime in Bellingham has been amazing this summer. Little rain, good 70 degree average and lots of places to play in the sun!
Great comments. I love summer!
