1) the blooms of the larger, more flambouyant wildflowers like cow parsnip and black eyed Susans, monarda and thistles

5) Sensation: humidity (this is my least favorite thing about Summer!)
1. Fireflies, sunsets, kids at the beach, black-eyed Susans, queen of the prairie, perovskia, hostas ...
2. Raspberries, strawberries, Mexican bean salad, corn on the cob, tomatoes, watermelon, yummy grilled food meat and veggies.
3. Lawnmowers, fireworks, thunder, baseball on the radio.
4. Newly-mown grass, the grill, the wormy smell that has nothing to do with worms.
5. A cool breeze after the rain breaks the heat, sunburn

2. Apple pie!
3. Hmm...fireworks!
4. Gunpowder, cow manure, roses.
5. Setting off fireworks. Which I haven't done this year :(
