Melted butter and crumbled graham crackers.
Perfectly sweet strawberries to be mixed with cranberry juice and dolloped on top of the graham cracker crust.
Steamy cement sidewalks and soggy shady trees.
Summer smells like chlorine and Coppertone.
Summer smells like salted dough mixed with peanut butter and jelly, apple juice and an open window.
It smells like early morning dew disintegrating into the crevices of gritty brick whose multi colored criss cross pattern says, “Run! Jump! Skip! Stay here for it all.”
Love this, Callie!
Thank you!
i especially like the chlorine and coppertone! so true.
I love that combo.
Here’s to summer, open windows, playdough, sun, and splash parks. Which one is that? We go to the one at Fairfax Corner a lot – we should meet there!!
Cheers, Kristi! 🙂
We are usually at the Germantown splash park, but pretty much stop the car whenever we see water these days, so we would be up for meeting anywhere to play! 🙂
