i really can't wait for summer.

As I've experienced those first few days of summer, I am starting to remember.  I love summer, but I also hate summer.  Love it because, quite simply, it's summer!  Hate it because after a while it becomes boring.  Since I live in the country, away from a lot of people, it gets a little quiet at my house. 

But for the moment, I am loving summer, even though it's been raining most of the time.  I can't help but think of our vacation a month ago.  The pictures of sun and water and beach bring back wonderful memories.

I can't wait for that summer sun that waits for kids to come play in the sprinkler or build a fort.  I can't wait for the bike rides and ice cream.  And, I can't wait for swimming pools and bathing suits!

Remember this picture?  I love it! 

And this.  This right here is the essence of Charleston. 

What are your summer plans?
