what inspires you about summer?

the deep greens everywhere, porch-sitting, visiting the farmer’s market, berries at breakfast, lunch and after dinner, sea salt air, the twinkle of party lights strung outdoors, summer thunderstorms, and the way the streets in new york city come alive.

what’s your idea of a perfect summer evening?
