When I think of summer I think of big smiles, bonfires, long nights, days out on the lake, tan lines like nobody's business, sunflowers, lemonade, pigtails, ice cream etc. When I think of those things it makes me happy and excited. Which reminds me of yellow, again I don't know why. Yellow, yellow, yellow :)
