Jerseylicious

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

No, I am not talking about the TV show which I have never watched. (Hey, I don’t watch all those Jersey shows!)

I am talking about our pool. Our recent weather. Our true summer. Simply Jerseylicious.

Tonight Rick and I sat around after dinner thinking about swimming. Neither one of us really felt like it. No energy. I said to Rick I think we should at least go out and test the pool temperature and go from there.

Hello!

The water temperature was absolutely perfection as well as the cicada background symphony.

We swam lap upon lap. Just one more we promised each other, yet neither one of us could stop.

There is something to be said about swimming at night. Sans suits. Cicadas singing. The rest of the world recedes.

We swim until we simply can’t anymore, promising each other to get up and swim again before we’ve even had our morning coffee.

The days of summer are all too short and soon the pool will be a distant memory.

Seize the day. (or night)
