Dear Summer - A Gratitude List

Scarlett strawberries plump and sweet on my tongue
Lucious tomatoes for drizzling with oil and a pinch of salt
Swinging in a hammock making my own breeze
Reading and dozing under the cool of a tree
Thunderstorms bursting with fireworks
Rainbow bridges arching through the heavens
Firefly Fairy lights illuminating a path around me
Buzzy honeybees robed in golden pollen
Jasmine blooming at midnight outside my window
Camping under the canopy of summer’s night sky
The woods painted in every shade of green
Confetti butterflies celebrating the days
Flowers blooming around my footsteps
Farmer’s markets filled with Earth’s bounty
A lazy afternoon drifting along in a canoe
Songbirds greeting me each morning
Lavender twilight over an emerald field
Sun kissed highlights in my hair
Hot toes digging into wet sand
Drive in nights with popcorn for dinner
Pop up garage sales and flea markets
The endless view from a Ferris Wheel
Lemonade stands around the neighborhood
Getting doused by a surprise sun shower
Morning walks before the heat of the day
Serving up hummingbird nectar
Beach picnics under a big umbrella
Cotton dresses and straw hats
Diving under a cold wave on your hottest day
Blessed long yellow days of shimmering light
