all the earth's an exhale, warm and sticky, so we caper about in icy spray and drip dry into evening. we whisper-read between chilled shelves of library books, the rasp of pages turning like music. we sift through yard sale sheets and desks and casserole dishes. we plan out parties and sport pop-tart smiles and sugar rushes (thank you, grandma owens). and the soundtrack slipping behind it all is a mix of belly laughs and kidspeak and footfalls and it's a hint of eternity, i think, all this goodness swimming up summery and gold. and i can hardly wait, just can't wait for more.

Can almost feel the drops:))
I was thinking similar things when I drove slowly through a traffic jam, and along the side of the road I noticed wild flowers. It seems rather extravagant to put them, right there, where no one except for the traffic jammed noticed. That extravagance makes me excited for heaven, you know?
The belly laughs are my favorite.
I just can't wait for more either. Oh, how I love summer! And sugary rushes from Grandma Owens? I keep forgetting that we share the Owens name. My mom loves making and decorating cut-out sugar cookies that she packages up and sends to all the grandkids. They call them Grandma O cookies.
i love how you put so many of our feelings into such beautifully put words. awesome summertime!
