Tomorrow is the 1st day of Summer 2012! And yet it feels like it's been Summer for at least 2 months! haha ...
Anyway, this may sound crazy to some people, but I have never really been a true fan of Summer. I am more of an Autumn/Spring kind of person. What excites me the most is that crisp Fall feeling in the air and the sight of dead leaves falling with the knowledge that Halloween is right around the corner. I'm also a big fan of Winter being over and seeing green leaves and grass appear as the days slowly getting warmer and warmer.
Summer usually bogs me down (the same way Winter bogs me down ... too many stifling hot days and too many freezing cold days can really wear you out) ...
BUT this year I am making a concerted effort to make the most of the "hot season" ... Ryan & I bought an inflatable "family pool" and we've been eating lots of corn on the cob and watermelon ... Summer food! I must say that I also thoroughly enjoy swimming in rivers, which really is a true Summer pleasure. I also look forward to going to the beach next month and seeing some 4th of July fireworks.
So this mixtape echoes this sentiment of making the most of Summer and everything GOOD and FUN about it. I actually plan on making more like it because hey! The season starts tomorrow ... we still have 3 whole months of it! haha
So here it is ... Behold!
The mighty Swimsuit Mix!
As always, ENJOY.
