Dear on summer time.
Warmth presses like a memory against my skin — late light pooling on sidewalks, the air sticky with the scent of cut grass and citrus. Days stretch long and forgiving; afternoons unfold into a slow carousel of small pleasures: ice that clinks and sighs in a glass, the distant hush of children chasing one another under the sun, a fan whispering the same tired song.
Evenings arrive golden and forgiving. Porch swings creak beneath the weight of conversations that don't need conclusions, while crickets begin their patient chorus. The sky leans toward lavender and then deepens further, and somewhere a bicycle bell rings twice before fading into the hum of night.
Summer teaches a soft permission: to move slower, to savor the warm, to let ordinary moments feel incandescent. It asks for afternoons spent in half-forgotten books, for bare feet on warm pavement, for tomatoes still warm from the vine. It insists on lemonade and cold towels, on laughter that sounds easier here
