Summer Love


The topic of the GBE this week is for us to write something that is exactly 100 words. It can be about anything we want, any topic, any thoughts. So I decided that in honor of the fourth of July. I would list my favorite things about summer.

crickets in the field
thunder in the distance
wind blowing through the tall grass
children giggling
listening to the ocean crashing
hummingbird buzzing around
carvel ice creme (vanilla with rainbow sprinkles)
bbqing with friends and family
swimming in a crystal clear blue pool
kissing my love under the stars
exploding fireworks!!!

    I loved this one...reminds me of being a kid, yet sounds just like this weekend as an adult too! Except...maybe chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles. ;)

    Wonderfully done...I'd like to add cotton candy, but that would tip you over the 100 word point. ;O)

    'wind blowing through the tall grass' - One of my favourite sounds in the world. Very evocative. Liked this a lot :)
