Seize the summer

You realize, don’t you, we’re heading into the last weekend of August.  Fall is but steps away …

With that,  may this weekend find you wringing out every last ounce of summer fun: dine al fresco … picnic … BBQ … buy an ice cream cone … run through the sprinklers … traipse through a fountain …  peruse a farmer’s market … soak in the vitamin D … play … laugh … frolic …

The bright side of summer

If you happen to be more the fall/spring sort – such as myself – no doubt you tire of summer before it ever ends.   It’s hot.  There are bugs, there are weeds, there are endless outdoor chores.  And let’s not forget the odoriferousness – throw meat in the trash at your own peril; stand in close-quarters  with a group of strangers and the stench could take you down.  

So what’s so great about summer? 

What’s so great indeed … 

  • Fireflies
  • Garden parties
  • Fireworks
  • Iced tea
  • S’mores
  • Fresh cut grass
  • Starlight
  • Flowers
  • Long walks with the one you love
  • BBQs
  • Laughter around the campfire
  • Water fights
  • Butterflies
  • Fair food     

And that’s precisely what I wish for you, my dear readers – the bright side of summer!
