Hungry for summer

I am not posting this picture because of it's high photo quality.

It's here because of it's high I'm-longing-for-this qualities.

I'm ready to drink from the sprinkler

and walk barefoot across the lawn.

I'm ready to watch sun peek through the trees

lay in the hammock

wake up to bird song

feel sun-pinked shoulders

smell teriyaki salmon on the grill

listen to the stream and grand baby giggles

sleep out on the tramp,

hear crickets sing

and watch a distant star fling itself across the sky.

I am ready.  For.  Summer.

Right now.

Would the wind and the cold please stop already?

Way, way, waaaaaay last summer.
