We are in the middle of the dog days of summer (although we are having cooler weather so it almost feels like April or May instead). Here is a list of some of our favorite things about summer:
Half price shakes after 8pm at Sonic
Fireflies
More daylight
Fireworks
Getting a tan (this doesn't apply so much since we work indoors now)
Popsicles
Homemade ice cream
S'mores
Brats or burgers
Corn on the cob
Fresh strawberries or peaches
(Summer food is so wonderful)
Wearing shorts
Gardening
Going on walks at twilight
Sleeping with the windows open
Swimming
Biking
Hiking
Running
Canoeing
Reading the same books I read over and over each summer
Lots of people out and about around the park or town
The roar of a crowd at a baseball game
Watching the Spurs win the NBA finals
Driving to work with the sun already up
And not to be complainers but here are a few inconvenient items that come with summer as well:
Hot cars
Bugs
Sunburns
Having real jobs (no more summers off like when we were students)
Needing to take multiple showers a day since you are sweating so much
Difference of opinions about AC settings in our household
All in all we have had a wonderful time so far this summer and are looking forward to another month of this wonderful season. Omni Vincit Amor.
