Summer: what doe it mean to you? Whether it’s cooking on the grill, popsicles, baseball, going to the beach/pool, or doing absolutely nothing, if you love summer, you’ll love Summer, a new book by Suzanne Brown. The photography is superb, and the book features a myriad of ways to celebrate the season. From picnics to s’mores to identifying cloud types (something you dan do while you’re doing nothing) the book also contains plenty of recipes, including yummy frozen drinks. Even I fell in love with this book, and I do not care for temperatures over 85.
Summer has a companion website (where you can find out how convert cricket chirping to temperature, among other things). There is a planned Summerologist webstore, too. Delight in the season that is all-too-short in Chicago. (Winter, however, seems to linger.)
