Summer by Marsha
cold lemonade – the real kind
that first jump in the pool – I go straight to the deep end and just plunge
sunglasses – soooooo many colors of sunglasses
reaching up to pick the ripe purple plum off the tree in our yard
eating it while the juices run down my chin……..smiling
lounging by the pool with Rolling Stone, People mag and a trashy novel
swimming laps with my BFF
naked toddlers giggling and splashing there
that first bite into a sweet peach
sleeping in
shaving my legs with fruity fragranced cream
the first outdoor shower of the summer, by the pool with swimsuit on, washing my hair outside with kids’ shampoo
organic vinegar and salt kettle cooked chips
skinnydipping at the river
sunburn
massaging my skin with cocoa butter
seeing pretty girls and remembering when I was young
thoroughly enjoying growing old
catchy pop tunes rolling around in my head and off my lips
I’ve enjoyed all these this summer.
Most of them I did today.

Gorgeous writing, Marsha. Fun memories. . . from the distant past and the near-past. Lovely! Thanks for sharing a summer day with us.
