In the summertime, we will have picnics. We will. We will go to parks and sit at picnic tables and eat potato salad. We will talk about interesting things and we will read books and we will take naps in the sun. We will. In the summertime, we will go for walks. We will kick off our shoes and curl our toes on the sunwarmed ground, soaking up the heat of the day right through our soles and letting it radiate through us until we feel like we are made of pure energy.

And then we will eat ice cream.

In the summertime, we will. And when it rains, we will jump in puddles and when it is too hot we will hide out under trees. We will drink lemonade and tea and we will listen to the jingle jangle of ice cubes in glasses. And at night we will lie down right in the grass and let it tickle our skin while we watch the stars and the fireflies and we will listen to the soundtrack of cicadas and crickets and our own breathing.

Baby, we will. In the summertime.
