Does anyone else CRAVE the smell of summer? You know what I’m talking about? That combination of cut grass, mixed with rain and heat, the smell of sunscreen where ever you go, and if you stand still and breathe deep, you can smell the faintest trail of chlorine. The way you skin smells after you have been in the sun for a while, the smell of flowers and trees finally coming to life once again. The smell of berries ripening on the vine, you can even smell the ice that people put in their coolers. God I love those smells! I crave them all year and the first day I actually get to smell them I get happy all over. Silly huh? I also wait all year to hear the sounds of summer. The ice cream truck, kids playing out side, bikes clanging down the street, and ball hitting the pavement over and over. The sound of water splashing, and roller skate or roller blade wheels on the side walk. Hoses spraying the car or kids, or watering your plants, fans running in the house. Laughter. You hear more laughter in the summer then any other time of the year. The sound of Hotel California blasting out of your stereo, you can’t NOT listen to that song in the summer. The sound of Ice in your glass. Doesn’t matter what it’s a glass of, there is ice in it.  God I love summer!!! Nothing else can compare to it!
