- lazy mornings cuddling with Pipsqueak in bed and talking;
- fresh peaches and local corn and strawberries;
- the smell of sunscreen;
- relaxed evenings with a cocktail on the deck before dinner;
- fresh vegetables from the garden;
- the sounds of frogs and crickets;
- the smell of fresh cut grass;
- grilled meat;
- salads;
- walking out of the house without outerwear;
- riding in the car with the windows down;
- sleeping with the windows open;
- watching the bats and deer at dusk;
- fireflies;
- dragonflies;
- thunder storms;
- taking showers outdoors; and
- hanging clothes to dry outside.
But there are a few things that I won't miss...
- the smell of insect repellent;
- mosquitoes;
- slathering sunscreen on an impatient child;
- bikini-line hair removal;
- having to shave everyday;
- having to give the dog a bath almost daily; and
- the fact that it almost always rains as soon as I get laundry hung on the line.
Let's face it. There's a lot to like about summer, and not much to dislike.

I agree with your list although I wish we had more thunder storms. I miss thunder since we only hear it a few times a year. I have such a hard time letting go of summer.
