I did things, yes I did:
planted sunflower seeds (so late, but still)
visited the neighborhood library, signed ava and ezra up for the summer reading program, checked out more books than we could ever possibly read
picked a handful of strawberries from our garden
rode my bike around the block umpteen times
laid in the hammock, thought up names for my bike
laid in the hammock, ate an orange popsicle
laid in the hammock, dreamt of our trip to san francisco
laid in the hammock, thought about making a pitcher of lemonade with extra lemons, extra sugar but didn't because I was too busy laying in the hammock
laid in the hammock some more
I'm telling you, I do not mess around when it comes to the first day of summer.
i need a hammock.
