Just like that, it's summer again. All of a sudden I'm covered in mosquito bites. Eric and the cats and I are killing giant roaches on the porch. The kitchen is unpleasant with the stove on. The rain has stopped, never to return. My legs are sweaty.
Oh, well. Time to buy a bathing suit and start holding auditions for a favorite summer drink. Tonight I made a batch of cucumber mint water: throw a bunch of thinly sliced cucumber, a few lemon slices, and a couple springs of mint into a pitcher of filtered water and refrigerate. Refreshing, but I might need something with a little more oomph, something that will stand up to a dash of vodka.
