Maybe it’s the Memphis in me.
Maybe it’s the nights
in Mississippi & Arkansas too.
But I love summer.
Humidity, sweltering heat,
messy popsicles and all.

The abrupt southern switch of seasons,
always bringing back memories.

Lucero shows,
sweaty & drunk.
Green grass & beach towels,
hot flip flops to the side.
Day drinks,
always appropriate.
Sweet tea,
& BLTs.
Red shoulders,
turn to tan.
New freckles,
shining under sundress straps.
Random road trips,
with thrift store adventures.
Sneaking into swimming pools,
& liquor into Sonic cups.
Short skirts,
longer days.
Watering gardens,
summer beer in hand.
Late night walks,
amongst the slugs.
Front porches,
with fireworks & friends.

A few past photos
have captured my love.

Starting today I’ll be capturing
this year’s summer adventures.
Girls are headed over this afternoon.

Highs in the upper 80s,
sunshine,
kiddie pool,
slip-n-slide,
orange slice jello shots
should do the trick.
New memories
to add to the list.
With tons of photos
to go along.

Stay tuned.
