guest post: my summer, in objects.

hello, friends! erin from reading my tea leaves, here! while barb is off celebrating the start of summer with a festive family trip to walt disney world, she asked me to share with all of you the objects that mean summer to me--what a treat--thanks barb!

here they are: five little things that mean summer to me.

1. fresh produce.

{because nothing's more delicious than the fruits of a farmer's bounty, sun-ripened and tasty as can be}.

2. screens.

{because open windows mean the sounds of tree-frogs and grasshoppers to lull you to sleep during a respite from the afternoon sun}.

3. lemonade.

{because after a run through the sprinkler, a tall glass of freshly squeezed lemonade is just what you need}.

4. freshly mown grass.

{because wearing shoes is highly overrated when you can run through a lawn full of this}.

5. tiger-lilies.

{because they grew wild in the creek next to my house when i was little, and nothing says summer like these blossoms}.

so, what objects say summer to you?
