the start of summer, 5.14.24

of course, there are dates in which the seasons begin and end, but then there are subjective beginnings and endings. when i was younger, the start of school meant that summer was officially over and fall was upon us. ever since i moved to new england a few years ago, i began eating ice cream. the first ice cream i eat after winter is my official start of summer. this year, that was tonight. after 5 guys, i went next door to cookie monstah and got a half mint and half cake batter. the cake batter is way better at cold stone, but it was still the perfect dessert after a burger and fries.

today’s my first official day of summer, so happy summer!
