You are so beautiful to me…
With your 70 degree temps
your skies packed with sunshine
not a raindrop in sight.
Afternoons aplenty
everyone leaves early
for myself I find a tennis wall to hit on
and a Menchie’s froyo cup to refresh.
Or maybe a park bench
Kerry Park, to be exact
to start a new novel
or ponder a crossword
the city’s skyline cheering me on.
Free fries offered at Ivars
the waterfront seafood bar
makes a great pitstop post site visit
Friday afternoon
stay away seagulls.


Ballard Seafood Fest
filled with music, vendors
oh, and alder-smoked salmon
compliments of the Masons.
Back to Big Picture
for laughs at movie Ted
and a round robin of tennis
per request by the boy.
A BBQ for a friend’s birthday
glorious Golden Gardens
booze, food, and games
that’s what summer is about.
