Memories of Kentucky Summers
The lush green hills of Kentucky
Humidity-laced, tobacco- scented air
Sunshine casting a blue tint on grass
Fields of corn waltzing in the air
Horses grazing lazily
Tails swatting flies from their backs
Cattle wading belly deep in a cool pond
Long, hot days in the fields
Trying to look attractive in shorts and bikini tops
Sweat trickling between breasts
Picking green beans, tomatoes, and blackberries
Hoeing fields of tobacco
Preserving garden food for winter
Swimming in the local creek
Exploring the woods around the house
Softball at the old vacant red brick school
Drive-in movies with friends
Passing notes about boys during church
Sundays playing cards at Grandma and Grandpa's house
Friends and family wandering in and out of the game
Talk of crops, rain, and gardens
Catching up on the latest news and gossip
Laughter amidst hard work
Kentucky summers growing up
At heart I'll always be a Kentucky girl
