I, too, used to write + edit greeting cards — once upon a time. Strange business.

Those key lime tarts are killing me most. Yum.

The sounds of summer I hear right now are: MARCO……POLO!!!!! The pool is full of kiddos. Marilyn, I am also going to add limes to my grocery list to try some homemade limeade. I am also going to be a little wild and add the maraschino cherries! : )

Happy Summer!!!

The melodies of family picnics and the harmony found in a ripe watermelon…thump, thump, thump. It’s ripe…

Heartfelt post, inviting pictures and seasoned comments.

Thanks for sharing, Marilyn…

How fun that you’ve created greeting cards! Summer sounds for me… waves crashing, of course (we stay on the beach). And the gleeful, joyous squeals of the kids catching crabs down on the jetty.

Those key lime tarts have my name written all over them!

This summer I am begrudgingly grateful to have the screaming of blue jays reintroduced to the avian choir. Now their raucous cries sound triumphant to me rather than jeering.

They are coming back from greatly reduced numbers. The West Nile Virus struck them especially hard in ’07 and we had two nearly jay-silent summers.

The sounds of lightening bugs and falling stars topped off by the 4th of July. Oh how I love summer. N

Ice cream trucks were a big indicator of summer when I was growing up in NYC. Also the sound of hydrants being opened (legally or not…) and the whooshing out water out into the hot streets. Now, living in the country, it’s the sound of birds outside my window. I can’t get enough of it.

Ooooh, summer, how I love thee! Iced tea being poured into a glass, cracking open a new book, flip flops flopping and the methodic (and melodic!) sound only a porch swing can make.

Mowing, sizzling, rock salt – love these sounds.

Welcome Chef Gwen! You must check our her Pen & Fork blog, it’s delicious.

Can’t believe no mention yet of ice cream trucks! Along with screaming cicadas, it’s my consummate sound of summer. We ran like a herd when that truck arrived, clueless; now my daughter says they sound “creepy.” When did that happen?

Moon, June, VROOM! As in mowing, nonstop mowing, push-mowing and on-the-tractor mowing, and then over and again.

Did I mention I do a lot of *mowing*?
