They say that in Seattle, summer doesn\u2019t start until July 5, and they are not joking. Look at this<\/a>! Look at it! And then compare it to the past month<\/a>! I like the 4th of July, but HURRY UP, JULY 5TH.<\/p>\n

(I should note that, in my exuberance, I accidentally mistyped the above as \u201cHOORAY UP, JULY 5TH,\u201d which I can only assume is the compound of \u201chooray\u201d and \u201cgiddyup<\/a>\u201d and is also, coincidentally, an accurate expression of how I feel.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In celebration of the fact that summer is coming tomorrow, I pulled out some photographs from the past couple of summers. I\u2019m setting the mood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was an evening last July when we ate chips and salsa and floated around in a giant tuna can of a swimming pool with one of my oldest friends and her then-fiance-now-husband. I didn\u2019t even drop my camera in the pool. It was a good night. I want another one like it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The shot below was taken on the beach last New Year\u2019s Eve, but I think it counts. We were visiting Brandon\u2019s grandparents in Florida, and winter in Florida is like summer in Seattle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one was taken last month, on a cloudy day, but the colors are right. I do what I have to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m making a summer list. My friend Maria recently made a list<\/a> of all the things she wants to have, do, and feel this summer, and I can\u2019t stop looking at it. It actually feels<\/span> like summer, reading that list. My friend Anna also made a list<\/a>, too, and I particularly like that she included \u201ctomatoes!\u201d The exclamation point is key. My own summer list has two parts: the eating-and-drinking part, and the doing part.<\/p>\n

EAT AND DRINK:
\nHomemade popsicles
\nDeviled eggs
\nTomato-and-mayo sandwiches
\nLemonade
\nPimm\u2019s Cup
\nRomano beans
\nPasta with fresh pesto
\nCold-brewed iced coffee<\/a> in the morning
\nSliced avocado with salt and lime<\/p>\n

TO DO:
\nGet too hot
\nWear dresses
\nSit on the stoop
\nHike somewhere
\nSleep with no covers
\nRead outside<\/p>\n

I\u2019m working on my Pimm\u2019s Cup formula, but when I have it nailed down, it\u2019s yours. The deviled eggs, and the popsicles, too.<\/p>\n

Happy 4th of July. Or 5th. Whatever you\u2019re into.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
