Summer holds a very special place in my heart. Below are the top five things I love about summer.

1. Having the opportunity to soak up the sun as much as I can.

2. Flip flops. Now that I have moved into mine I’m not likely to abandon them until there is snow on the ground.

3. Summer foods like cold salads and watermelon, that somehow taste so much better on a warm day.

4. Summer rains. There is something so refreshing about the intense humidity just before these rains and the cool that follows.

5. Outdoor shows at the drive-in, in the middle of town, at an institution, it doesn’t really matter to me as long as I am outside enjoying a movie or a live performance.

At MASS MoCA we try to host as many outdoor performances as we can during the summer, although sometimes the weather does not always cooperate with us which is why we have rain calls. Although the process is extremely necessary, sometimes it can seem downright funny when it is pouring down rain or the sun is shining brightly. A few weeks ago I took this photo of my friend Sarah, who works in the performing arts department, right after the rain call on a beautiful day. Of course this is a spoof on the actual process, but you get the idea!

Cheers,

Brittany
