l’été est arrivée

simple pleasures of today, the first real day of summer:

• strawberries from the garden
• watching parents teach their kids to swim
• being pleasantly (which is just on the verge of uncomfortably) burnt
• the impossibility of inconspicuously eavesdropping on deaf people's conversations
• driving
• honeysuckle
• grilling things
• making mental lists of things I plan on doing this summer
• reading for fun
• people watching
• a baby praying mantis
