Top o’ the evenin’ friends!

Tomorrow marks the first day of summer, and as it approaches I thought I would post a little montage to summer in the city. Yesterday my nieces carpeted the sidewalk with drawings, and it made me think of the elaborate landscapes I used to draw with my friends when we were young. Hopscotch, flowers, names, and rainbows.

Sidewalk chalk tends to have a happy, summery vibe. There’s just something about drawing with the bright colors on a sunny day that tends to keep things optimistic. I could use a dose of this after the rainy spell we’ve been having.

A little optimism for me, and for all of you!

Why, I think I will imagine “peas”! Even though clearly an adult or older child made that, I’m going with it. Whether from child or from childlike mind, I salute summer and all it may bring!

Happy Summer Solstice everyone! What are you most excited about this summer?
