things I love about summer.....

-bare feet...and painted toenails....cannot do my hands...that lasts about 3 minutes, as you might imagine.. picking .this summer's color...metallic gunmetal grey...

-strawberries,blueberries, raspberries....need I say more?!

-cree-mees....a Vermont  guilty pleasure....!

-the loudest bullfrogs on planet earth in my pond...I get up early just to go out and listen to them doing battle with their voices :)

-music.... any kind....al fresco...but mostly jumping up and down in the grass while Michael Franti sings to ME

-farmers market....re connecting with old friends, making some new....

-getting out the door in 3 seconds flat ( no layers of clothes)

-hummingbirds....omigod....be still my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-looong lazy days....yah, its too HOT to do anything....but be sweaty

-making  my own 'air conditiong' by flying down the hill on my bicycle

-going to Arcana and choosing what to plant in veggie garden..this year we are doing only heirloom stuff....atomic red carrots that STAY bright red after you cook 'em....cheddar cauliflower ( yellow-y orange) , red noodle beans....tomaccicio tomatoes that grow on a huge 12ft vine and dry there...like growing your own sun-dried tomatoes....and echinacea that produces green flowers!

 please share yours with me!.....what do you love best about summer?....
