Summertime Tunes

Summer for a Jersey girl like me means harsh sunlight, high temperatures, cool breezes on good days, chilly nights, sunscreen, flip flops, driving with the windows down (when the AC isn't cranked up on full blast), the shore, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, sweat stains on clothes, lightning bugs (fireflies for you Southerners!), chirping crickets and clicking insects at night, swing-sets, and kids out riding in groups on colourful bikes. It also is the perfect chance to make a killer summer-inspired playlist!
