first day of summer

also known as the summer solstice. also known as my father’s birthday.

june 20.

the longest day of the year.

summer with its fireworks, fairs, and festivals leaves most people with a feeling of complete freedom.

honestly, if i hadn’t heard the announcement on some new york radio station i would have never realized the season change.

i gave him a card. it read on the cover (a cute chihuahua pictured): you’re 29 today? on the inside: yeah, and i’m a great dane.  understand? i liked it.

below, some quintessential summer favorites.

chocolate chip cookies.

and…

strawberry pie with whipped cream.

oh, if you ever want any of my recipes (from this post, breathe in dessert?, or any future post) just let me know! i’d be more than happy to give them to you

a question for you, at what age will you start telling people you’re younger than you really are?
