What makes you think of summer?
Sometimes it’s just the little things like, smell the freshly cut grass, taking the dog for a walk through the park,eating an ice-cream and feeling like a child,taking a nap in the hammick, walking on the beach, feeling the warm summer breeze sweep across to body and also smell of suntan lotion etc…. So tell me—What Makes You Think Of Summer? What Things Or Objects Make You Think Of Summer?

God-awful mugginess, oppressive heat, sleepless nights…fuuuuuck Chicago!
I live along the water, so, the smell of the beach when I have my windows open and a breeze comes through my bedroom window at night.
Freshly cut grass, the smell of people barbecuing, warm nights with a slight breeze, hearing the crowds cheer in the distance at the beginning of baseball season for all the little ones, hearing music being carried on the breeze from the multiple open windows…
Sweating like a pig.
Sticking to the furniture.
Massive electric bills for the AC.
Looking like a goober in shorts all the time.

The slight ocean-y smell that carries over from the New York Bay.

Juicy Fruit chewing gum
sun tan lotion
freshly mowed grass
Reminders of Summer in Phoenix, Arizona:
- Having to use oven mitts to touch your car steering wheel until the car’s AC cools off the interior of the vehicle
- News reporters giving a daily report of how many minutes you can stay out in direct sunlight before it becomes hazardous to your health
- Huge electric bills due to constant AC
- A very conspicuous and frustrating (sometimes) lack of rain. Even more so than during the rest of the year
- An increase in wildfires
- Triple digit temperatures….in the shade
- Being able to fry an egg on the sidewalk. I’ve actually done this before
flowers, bee’s, humidity, the sudden urge to go to the beach…
flowers and new tattoos. I don’t know why.

Folks wearing too little or too small clothes they have no business wearing in public.
