  1. Unfortunately I don't like Summer so the words that come to mind are: heatwave, sweaty T shirts and hot sleepless nights. I live in the Italian interland and so I'm very far away from the sea so I cannot love this season, sorry!

  2. Loree, did you ever read the Contemporary Women's Fiction novel I recommended to you last year: Something Borrowed? It's set in summer, I just reread it this weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm gonna re-recommend it to you. A perfect, perfect vacation read.

  6. You essentially captured all the components of a robust summer experience: mint, basil, sunshine, waves, florid sunsets....and love those geckos on the walls ;)

  7. Wow, I love your fiery sunset! Some summer words for me are salads, watermelon, sandals, monsoons and butterflies. :)

  8. Such beautiful words that capture summer so well. Although, some are very unique to your summer and I love that even more x

  9. My words would be longer days, bbqs, caponata, capers, watermelon, walks along the promenade, an unexpected refreshing breeze, and forever carrying water bottles! Loved your choice of words :)
