Summer

Summer is

slow days with you
tan lines
a book

thunderstorms then droughts all under the oppressive Texas heat

Summer is

pool chats

pool alone
pool with friends

road tripping to Colorado where nights are cool, the mountains compel, the flora bloom effortlessly

Summer is

bracelets
bralettes
bare feet

backyard grilling, chilled rosé, homemade fruit pies, ice cream at home or special ice cream trips

Summer is

music

art museums
movies

come and gone again
