Blades of grass squishing through my toes
Melons and beans emerging fresh from the garden
Swimming pool splashes mixed with giggles and squeals
Neighborhood parties on the cul-de-sac
Clicking, chirping sounds of hot-weather insects at night
Oceanfront balcony views on a beach vacation
Sugary Popsicles melting, dripping down our hands
Waving to neighbors as we ride bikes through the streets
No school, no homework, no schedules
Those were my lazy, sunny summers, growing up "Tennessee".
