Summer Soundtrack

Not really sure what to write about today. I just feel like posting something, it's been a few days. My head is full of football (aka soccer) and trying to find something to keep me busy at work, as per usual, so I'm not feeling very inspired.
I can't help but think about summer being here, about going to the beach, about long days full of light, about long walks in the sunshine, about playing tennis and frisbee, about bbqs and late night dinners on the patio with friends, about how much I love this time of year. I still have dreams of living in two hemispheres so I can be in perpetual summer for the rest of my life!

Here are just some of my favorite summer treats, sounds, eats:

- Jack Johnson
- walking in the sand on the beach
- the sound of the ducks on a lake
- eating outside, laughing with friends for hours
- the smell of suntan lotion
- Breaks Co-op
- fresh fruit and veggies
- farmers markets
- waking up when it's light out
- ice cream and gelato!!
- reading in the grass
- picnics
- the flowers
- June bugs bouncing off the screen in the window
- going sea kayaking
- the sound of children playing
- strawberry shortcake
- bbqs!!!
- David Gray
- chill out music

I do love making me a list! Anyone have anything else to add? Things you cannot go without or look forward to in the summertime?
