summer today

By

For some of us, summer today is bringing a long evening walk, vanilla ice cream with homemade strawberry jam, grass under our feet, perfect Polaroid weather, new books and a lingering sense of quietness.

For others, summer today is about exploring a new culture, challenging your beliefs, being playful and starting over.

And I know that for most of us, summer today is bringing parades, barbecues, picnics and fireworks and celebrating what I believe is the very essence of the American spirit.

Wherever you are at this moment, tell us. What is summer bringing into your life today?

And Happy 4th of July!

  6. More fun with my kids..not so early rushed morning and bedtimes…watermelon, BBQs, time at the lake. But the biggie for us in the summer…we spend a whole week in July tie dying… friends and family and neighbors pop on by with something to dye..for a whole week..we have purple fingers and happy faces. We dye most anything that does not run away and is 100% cotton…so much fun!! Has become a yearly tradition!!
    Happy Fourth and Happy summer all!!

  9. Summer is banana pudding ice cream, soaking in the sights and smells of a cool evening from the front porch, being a tourist in my own city, and harvesting vegetables from my garden–a truly magical time of year.

  18. today was spent hiking with friends around glendalough -a beautiful natural park in county wicklow (ireland). my eldest fell into a ditch and sprained his ankle… but we still managed to make it a wonderful day… 🙂

  22. These jerseys which are interestingly termed retro basketball jerseys are old school. Here is an example, men football jerseys, Kobe’s jersey at the present time, but the Lakers look 20 years ago. That would be an example of the throwback kind. Sports stars put them on now and again during games also.site:http://www.nfljerseyonline.com
