Besides heat waves, and mosquitoes - What does Summer mean to you?

If Spring 🧡 in many places warming weather no more snow & ice (w a rare April eary/mid storm) plus 🧡 greening trees, crab apple & cherry tree blossoms - wonderful possibilities reopening; Summer in its best state means expansiveness 🥰 to me!

The wonderful possibilities that haven't happened yet - many will happen now, or over 6/21 - 9/19-20!

When it's not above the low 80°Fs, on dry side; no over clothes except a rain poncho if not umbrella, even sometimes mid 80°F to just 90°F especially earlier on in the season there's a Sense Of Freedom! (I swear the ole freedom from any school still sticks with me even at 69 yes on. 😄 )

So many ourdoor summer concerts! Free ones (well not since effing Covid ) More flowers in gardens & parks.
🌳🌳🌳🏵️🌺🌲🌲🌳🌼

Going down to the World Financial Center/ Brookfield Place Big Plaza, 🥰 and the long Beautiful Esplanade by The Hudson River that ends near Battery Park.

Hanging out with family/friends in backyards! Fourth of July firework. Firework on Fridays on Coney Island beach at the A Team Stadium of The Yankees or The Mets. The beach. Vacations for many people. Even the hustle and bustle of NYC streets when not (over)crowded I get energized; it varies in location.
All this and more!

(while covid has reduced much or ruined of this the past 19 months 😥 )

A Shout Out to 🥰 Summer on it's last weekend 2022!

(gI'm going to a Chineese buffet, and eating in a little park place 👍🧡 then going to a different 🧡 park later )

What does the 🧡 best of Summer mean to you? 👍🙂
