Who’s ready for summer?
We are!! After a spring of solid rain, a week of temperatures in the high 90’s followed by a week of 50’s and 60’s, I sure am ready for summer.
Our 23rd wedding anniversary was May 15th. My husband splurged and got us a big, fancy patio umbrella. It’s 11 feet wide, solar powered with lights, and the umbrella itself rotates!
So, if we are sitting on the patio chairs, shade. And, we can turn it so if we’re sitting/ swimming in the pool, shade. My son gets sunburns quite easily, so pool shade is definitely a gift.
Tomorrow, the temperatures start to build their way back up towards summertime fun. My summertime goals are:
- wear my swim suit every day
- swim every day (unless there is lightning)
- catch fireflies at night
- blow bubbles
- watch sunsets
- take walks
- have a potluck
- picnics
- do sidewalk chalk
- read a bunch of books
- do art
- take naps
Man, that does sound good! Sign me up, I’m ready. Here’s to a great season, whether yours is summer, winter, spring, or fall. What are your goals for your season?
Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

I love your list of summer things to do. My goal is to pull a few weeds every day and come in before it’s difficult to walk properly.

Oh my gosh, that’s a great goal!! I pulled weeds this morning, ouch. Ha ha. We put that black weed barrier down around the cement near the pool… ummm, doesn’t quite work. Ha!

Swimming every day sounds lovely, and what a perfect gift for your anniversary. My summer goals are to hike more often (I live near Yosemite so that’s where I’ll do it); go to High Tea with my sister; and have a family lunch with my four kids (who are all grown now).

Hi there- you live near Yosemite? Oh wow! I’ve never been there! Bet it’s gorgeous for hiking. I live near Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Lots of springs and clear rivers. Love hiking. I haven’t heard of High Tea, will have to look it up, haha. And, a family lunch with your kids sounds beyond amazing. Thanks for commenting.
