Dresses, Skirts and Pockets

 Summer Solstice was here this week, and to some it is the beginning. Something about maximum elevation of the sun, longest day, heat stroke?? All I know is I hear Christmas music playing in my brain. This is when I panic. My husband, yearly tells me, its just the beginning of summer!! I think it has already started to get dark earlier!! I know it is summer, but it can never stay long enough, and I begin the process of missing it!! No there is no logic, it is my meter to soak it all in, and wear all of my summer clothes.

      I am a moderately happy human, but summer clothes, takes me up a notch. You see I have, what is knows as, clothes claustrophobia. ( Do not look for logic here!) ( Florida) ( say no more)
     I consider a bathing suit cover up, as enough. Trust me.
     I dislike shorts, I want a dress on, or a skirt! with any wisp of a shirt! I need a breeze, flowing in and around all my parts! I also want pockets, I do not understand why they are not on every garment, its a deal breaker. I get giddy, to find pockets on even my nightgowns!! which I wear until they are thread bare and barely hanging on me! I need a breeze!! All my summer dresses that I keep for decades, eventually become my nightgowns, its a texture thing.

    When there are no pockets around, and it happens, I hide things in my bra. I have also lost things in there, a pair of earrings, and my phone. Just let your imagination run with that!! I have Aunt Eleanor's boobies, only my relatives will understand the curse. She ordered her bras, back in the day, special delivery from Sears!! I also special order mine, and have to sell pieces of my liver to pay for them!! It is special. I need pockets, in the summer, really always. In the winter, I am so distressed, with sweaters, I do not care about pockets.( yes, my burdens are huge!)

     Yesterday at my bone doctor, he remarked how cute I looked, well duh!! darling summer dress, it changes your body language. ( and a new hip, no pain, may have made my face look sweeter!) Beach hair, pool hair, little to nothing cute frocks, sandals, or slides, lipstick and a hint of cheek color, soft perfume, light nail color, AND POCKETS!! Summer Solstice, I am hanging on til I see the first leaf fall!! Enjoy your hot Saturday in this sunny month of June, its a wonderful thing.
