- Swimming pools!!! Nothing better than a jump into a pool on a hot day.
- It is easier to cool off in the summer than to keep warm in the winter with pools and A/C.
- Air conditioning is nearly everywhere these days.
- Shade trees are awesome. Saturday we were at an outside gathering and there were amazing trees to sit under which provided a cool retreat.
- Ice cream tastes best in the summer.
- The world is green and full of blooms.
- My garden is bursting with life.
- Even summer thunderstorms are way better than winter ice and snow. I love to hear the thunder roar. I love the relief that rain brings.
- Rain! I love rain. After a drought a few years ago, I will never complain about rain. It is such a gift.
- No school.
- Less structure to our days.
- Fewer weeknight commitments.
- Grilling!
- Riding bikes
- Vacation days
- Not having to bundle up to go outside, just go!
- Farm markets
- Yard sales
- Backyard parties
- Library reading programs
- No shoveling snow in the sumer.
- Fruit and vegetables are amazing when in season. Cherries and watermelon are my favorites and I only eat them in the summer.
- Sunshine (no drab days)
- More time to read
- Baby birds in a nest near a front window to watch
- Mowing the lawn (my son's favorite job)
- Picnics, reunions at parks
- Band camp, VBS, worship arts camp
- Iced tea on the deck under the umbrella AND
- Hammocks
Come to think about it, maybe I do love summer after all!
I do love some good iced tea!😜
ReplyDeleteExtreme heat and humidity is not good. Here it is also very warm and I think it's time for my siesta. I like your list, Jenn. In the summer I love ice cream. But I do not take it because there is too much sugar in it. So today I drank mint tea and I treat Ralph on ice cream. Because it is sooo warm (33,9 above zero)
ReplyDeleteCORN ON THE COB.. although I cut mine off the cob due to my retainer.. but hey a girl can dream she is still eating it off the "bone"
ReplyDeleteUNSWEET TEA...
GREEN GRASS
FIREWORKS
ICE CREAM
My iced tea is always unsweet, too! And I forgot about corn on the cob. :)
DeleteGreat list! I love summer, but it does have a few days of extremes. It's 91° here now, dewpoint of 73, and feels like 100°, and they say tomorrow is suppose to be hotter. My perfect temp is 77. I use to love it in the 90's when I was young and foolish. :) That Culvers looks great. We are going there tonight to celebrate the inlaws anniversary. Else just staying in -- I sure could use a nap!
