Summer is in the air and I am feeling romantic! No, not that kind of romantic…you all know I’m like a-sexual Serah over here. What I mean is that I am romanticizing the feeling of summer!

I heard some drumming (now with the TV on mute I realize its probably a 12 year old learning to play the drums) and immediately was brought back to my childhood (a good memory!) of listening to the highschool marching band. When I was growing up we lived just a few blocks from Hilhi. For those of you not in the know this stands for Hillsboro Highschool. I never went to that school though…too poor for our blood! I laugh because its silly. I bet I’d end up just the same amount of crazy if I had gone to public school…but glad my parents wasted a shit ton of money for private religious school??

Anyhoo…the drummings. It was really fun to listen to the marching band practice. It was even more fun when I could wrangle my dad into riding bikes up to the highschool to actually WATCH the practice. Really fun memories. It’s just one of those valley kid memories. It was a sign Spring was coming. Although now that I think about it…why would a marching band be practicing in spring/summer? Oh geez…my summer romance makes no sense!

Well, now I’m embarrassed. What about you? Lawnmowers mowing? Freshly cut grass? What makes spring and summer come alive for you? Start making some summer memories, because, crap June is half over already!
