15 things that signal to me that summer is almost here

I can't believe how late in the year we are. 

1. Days are long
2. My windows are often open
3. People's schedules fill up
4. I wear my sunglasses longer and more frequently
5. Good mangoes hit the stores
6. Patio seating becomes reasonable
7. Outdoor markets start filling up my calendar
8. I get more and more tempted to switch my wardrobe
9. I feel more guilty about not putting on sunscreen every day
10. My mood improves (sunshine helps a lot)
11. Rain doesn't make me cold to my bones
12. I begin to wonder when exactly it's hot enough for an air conditioner
13. Dresses become more common in my wardrobe
14. I dig out my sandals
15. Ankle socks become my go-to when not wearing my sandals
