Summer Means......

Summer means hot weather and downing gallons of ice water with lots of mint

Summer means fresh basal and Heirloom tomatoes bursting on the vine

Summer means half filled insulin reservoirs and fresh salads, day and night

Summer means air conditioning as a need not a want, and short sleeve shirts and tees as the norm not the exception

Summer makes for lower basal rates and more activity

Summer days mean that the sun starts shining at at 5:30 a.m. and ends sometime after 8 p.m,

And people looking up towards the evening sky to see if: Red sky at night equal sailors delight, red sky at dawn = gypsy storms coming on.

Summer brings with it water ice on the beach and soft serve on a hot Saturday night

Summer always includes reading books on the beach & body surfing in the sea, free of my insulin pump for 20 fabulous minutes at a time - Body surfing sans my pump beats a free shower any day ;)

For those who live at the shore, summer means outdoor covered showers in the privacy of your backyard & under the stars~

Summer means friends, new beginnings, fresh starts, fire flies, and the feeling that anything and everything is possible.

What does summer mean to you?
