SUMMER
As the song goes--"It's summer
time and the living is easy."
I think that is one of the best
things everyone enjoys about
summer. Summer arrived yesterday
at 7:28 am edt. Summer goes from
June 21st until September 22nd.
I find it hard to think of September
as a "summer" month, I guess it is
because school has been in session
for awhile. But...
Summer's first day is longer, the
night is shorter and the days are
warmer. Warm--yes, HOT--NO!
I enjoy summer don't get me wrong
BUT I do not tolerate heat very well
at all!
Everyone needs a pair of these
to see better with.
Summer is a slower time, time
spent outside playing in the
water--boating, fishing, swimming
at the pool or running through the
sprinkler at home.
More time is spent outside in the
garden, whether it's puttering
with the flowers or checking on
the vegetables. We also have the
lovely job of tending to our
yards too.
Time is also spent at the park
with your family. Our family
was enjoying a picnic together
over last weekend when this
little family showed up. Mom and
her ducklings out and about
for a stroll.
No, Ken has not gone and
changed colors--he had
some blue icing from the
Father's Day cake on his
teeth. Very hard to get
rid of--I must say.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Summertime and the living
is easy-- take some time to
have fun. Throw on the shorts,
t-shirts, sandals/flip-flops
and have a great summer.
Rest, relax and do something fun!
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here are some fun things to do:
1-Go to an outdoor concert/theatre
production.
2-See an afternoon ball game.
3-Check out the DRIVE-IN or
free movie nights.
4-Hit the Farmer's Markets.
5-Go to an Amusement Park, the
Zoo, Art Museums, and don't
forget your local library.
6-Look for FREE things to do.
7-Take a daytrip. Be a tourist in
your own city.
8-Cook on the grill-have a deck
dinner.
9-Enjoy the night sounds.
10-Celebrate the Fourth in
style.
11-Take a staycation boost your
city's economy.
12-Read a good book.
13-Eat a popsicle.
14-Take a day and DO NOTHING!
15-Spend time with your family.
Happy summer!!!!!

Ken is 'blue' ... that frosting blue is nasty to get rid of I agree. At first I thought 'boy did he get smacked'!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful summer day...

Melinda...we must be on the same wave of thinking. I just blogged about this very thing and then came over here for a visit to find this wonderful post. Summertime is great, isn't it? Thanks for these great ideas, I'm going to put some of them into play.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Thanks for such a sweet comment and always leaving them to encourage me on. Have a blessed day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun ideas! Our town has a farmer's market and free concerts in the park that we need to check out.
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy to see your comments on my blog, Melinda :)
I love your suggestions. I will definitely try to do as many of them as I can this summer. I am also wild about sunflowers--love your blog background.
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHA The kids had a black and red frosted cake from grandma for their birthday and it was wicked-- the neon colors are especially bad too. But they look so pretty:)
