I can't wait to wear pretty vintage dresses and carry summery handbags. When I can put away the pashminas for little silk scarves. When pretty shoes don't get full of snow and I can ignore the sock drawer completely.
I can't wait to fill my brain with bubbly summertime music.
I want to have picnics down by the river involving fancy cheeses and jazz cigarettes. Taking pictures and reading books and watching pretty things happen.
I want to get friends together to play sports. T-ball tournaments and soccer games with drinks on an outdoor patio afterward to celebrate our athletic ineptitude.
I want to visit one my dearest friends in Toronto and perhaps coerce her into exploring New York together.
I want to set up elaborate schemes of fans to attempt to cool my apartment down to a livable temperature and then ruin the delicate balance by filling my apartment with the heat-producing bodies of good friends.
I want to roast weenies and mallows.
I want to grow a few fresh vegetables on my little balcony in pretty pots.
O how I long for long days. Not having to think about mittens and layers of sweaters and such. Tans. Brews in backyards. BBQ. Road trips. Fishing. Sailing. Canoeing.
Bicycle rides. Riding Princess Buttercup to get fresh produce and red wine. Riding her to Nellie's Diner for an amazing breakfast. Riding her with friends. Riding for no reason.
I want a pair of roller skates. I want more hats. More dresses. More time spent frolicking in open fields.
I would also love to know what sort of exciting things you're looking forward to this summer.

I love the look of your shop. I am about to go over and take a peek.
I am really waiting for spring too. The snow and ice are starting to get on my nerves!! It will be so nice when I can sit on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee.
What a great post! I am sooo ready for Spring but totally cannot wait for summer!
Great post!! I'm looking for the kids being able to play for HOURS outside. Long walks on trails and in parks. Baseball. And amen to ignoring the sock drawer!
Completely bitten by spring fever bug. After bitter cold temps and a snowfall six days ago, the weekend was incredibly warm and mild. Spent as much time outdoors as possible.
Looking forward to tackling my garden yet again and hoping to improve upon last year's effort. And wearing my children out as much as possible with healthy outdoor exercise. And bbqs on the deck with fabulous warm weather cocktails.
Sigh.
Hey, welcome back! :) I echo every single one of your wishes. In addition to all that, this summer we're also looking forward to the birth of our first-born (non-4-legged kind) :) Which means we have to try to pack more of these "fun" things in before July comes around, ha ha!
I'm looking forward to smelling barbecues, going to music festivals, planting a garden, walking around barefoot and wearing fun sunglasses.
Welcome back Heather. I was gone for a while too, but surely not as long as you. You must have been whisked away by a canteloupe with a bowtie, monacle and a sense of humor.
