manifesto.

i'm supposed to be writing a paper, but i would much rather scribe a spring/summer manifesto. these days have me dreaming...of:

}eating watermelon.
}going barefoot.
}waking up to the summer sunshine streaming through my window (the equinoctial shift makes a huge difference in my bedroom).
}cooking potato salad. (lots.)
}working up some good sweats.
}running outside again without freezing my lungs.
}wearing flip-flops and anklets and snazzy toenails...
}and breezy skirts.
}putting my (now long!) hair up.
}being outside. a lot.
}soaking in the sunshine.
}waterfights.
}water in general.
}like the lake. and tubing. and wind in my hair and the sun-water-tired-and-good feeling after a day of it.
}favorite summer meals. like: dilled chicken (pasta) salad. and hamburgers. basil pesto.
}driving with the windows open.
}walks in the woods.
}picnics. (with above food, of course.)
}day trips to the beach.
}longer trips. to favorite places, or to favorite friends (and sometimes, both.)
}ice cream. or snow cones.
}ooh...root beer floats.
}putt-putt. (my brother would laugh that i'm actually looking forward to it this year.)
}i could go on. but i think you get the idea. :) i have no plans to waste one bit of these spring and summer days. come dream with me.
