* Porch
* White, fucshia, lavendar wave petunias
* Tree frogs
* Peel-and-eat shrimp
* Soft breeze
* Avocado rolls
* Good-natured argument about discerning a live oak
* Salad - craisins, almond slices, ginger dressing
* Sweet heady gardenias
* Lightning bug - caught one, tickling my finger before taking off
* Gently rocking in the early night silence

Summer Dinner

6 cat calls:
Summer... I have to remember each year that I don't really hate it, that there are many lovely things about it, namely dinners eaten outdoors.
Lovely.
And I share Penelope's feelings. . . I usually dread summer, but I must agree that there are some wonderful things about it (though, for me, they usually only happen after 6 pm once the heat has died down).
Can I please come over to your house for dinner? Because we're eating a lot of cereal, and everything has a patina of dog fur on it. Not nearly as lovely, although probably higher in fiber.
ah, now that sounds a good time!
fireflies... have you seen Grave of the Fireflies (japanese film, which is what David Sedaris told me to watch)? it's really a touching story (though completely tangential to your blogpost, save for the fact that fireflies appear in the movie in a very meaningful and tragically beautiful way)...
I invite you all to summer dinner at my house! We'll pull up more chairs on the porch and get more bottles of white wine and we'll pick a new topic for discussion - like how to precisely describe the smell of magnolias.
