summer state of mind

I want summer to be here.

So I can eat this on the 4th of July:



So the kids can play in the sprinklers and get sunburned.



So we can go body surfing in the waters of Southern California.



So I can finally make it back to Ozette. It's been too long.



So I can eat some freshly picked raspberries that have been warmed by the hot sun.



So we can let the kids play on the beaches of Oregon.



So we can eat at Lone Star Taqueria again. And again.



And so we can eat at Moochies again. And again. And maybe again.



We like summertime around here.
