Summer is in the air

Yeah it’s that time of year again…shorts are kicking jeans and khakis to the curb, ankle socks are in need of antidepressants as they are carelessly flung into some silent and dark corner of a draw in the dresser. The whirring and groaning of a leaf blower echoes off of the walls in this room as a neighbor attempts to tame his lawn again with the remnants of yesterday’s littering his driveway and the corners his fence line. Today summer is in the air thick and rife with hope, green grass sproutings and the children ambling down the block on post hibernating bicycles and summer clothing lines. Taking this moment, in breathing it in washing it down with a ball game on tv and longing longingly in my summer gear.
