These are some of the words that have ‘summer’ written all over them. Words that are linked to so many wonderful memories. Which words say ‘summer’ to you?
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!
ReplyDeleteLoree, 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.
ReplyDeleteI am listening to cicadas as I write this! (Geckos and lizards are also a part of my summer vocabulary :)
ReplyDeleteStubbed big toe,apricots, plums and peaches.................sweaterless at night!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous I sit at the beach with jeans and T-shirt ! It's mixed weather and today it rains ! Bad for holidays !
ReplyDeleteYou essentially captured all the components of a robust summer experience: mint, basil, sunshine, waves, florid sunsets....and love those geckos on the walls ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, I love your fiery sunset! Some summer words for me are salads, watermelon, sandals, monsoons and butterflies. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful words that capture summer so well. Although, some are very unique to your summer and I love that even more x
ReplyDeleteMy 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 :)
