After weeks and weeks of a big tease, it started to feel a bit like summer today. The temps got into the 80s. I can't tell you how GLAD I was, and GLAD definitely beats SAD any day!
Of course there's a downside. After dodging many meteorological bullets this spring, Central Illinois is currently under a tornado watch. Even so, all I can say is
WELCOME
WELCOME
WELCOME!!
Welcome sticky popsicle faces, that sunscreen smell, running through sprinklers, lightning bugs and needing a bath every night.
Welcome painted toe nails, that slight, tight stiffness from a little too much sun, flip-flops, flowey skirts every day, and smoothly-shaved legs.
Welcome sweet frozen drinks with umbrellas, oodles of garden produce, watermelon, salad for supper, corn stuck between your teeth, and dripping ice cream cones.
Welcome trips to the water park, family vacation, slowing down cuz it's SO hot and humid, insects droning, and watching thunderstorms on the porch.
Welcome summer! My favorite time of the year!
