Summer is in full swing. Vacation. Lemonade. Sunny skies. It’s all good, isn’t it?
What are your favorite things about summer?
Some of mine are:
- Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. They just seem magnified in the summer for me. The longer days allow me to enjoy them just a little bit longer.
- Farmer’s Markets. In a word—yum. So much variety and so much freshness.
- Freshly mown grass. I love the smell. I love the look. I love the lawn maintenance service that magically makes it happen.
- A good book. Reading in summertime is a million times better than any other time of the year.
- Ice cream. It’s good anytime but in summertime it is a billion times better.
- Vacations. Even if it is a “staycation” it is wonderful to be able to kick back and be out of the normal routine.
- Grilling out—and letting the hubby do the cooking. 🙂
- Fresh Iowa corn
- Picnics
- Iced Tea
- Driving with the windows open and not worrying about how messed up the hair gets.
- Eating outside (bugs not invited)
- Hearing the ice cream truck coming through the neighborhood and racing to get change to see if you can meet it in time.
- Flip flops in all the amazing colors and styles.
- Flowers –daisies, black eyed susans, impatiens, geraniums—they all add color and beauty to the landscape.
- Lightening bugs
- Fair food—anything on a stick.
- Summer pj’s
- Tiki torches
- Firepits and making s’mores.
