10 Reasons Summer Is My Favorite Time of Year

1o. Freedom for my feet! I love sandals, flops...even going barefoot around the yard. Plus, it's an excuse to go get a pedi!
9. Gardening! I just love watching things grow right before my eyes- like this Cala lily I transplanted into my side bed (from a tiny $5 walmart pot that I bought in Vegas over 3 years ago!) Apparently it likes Tennessee, too!


8. BBQ's in the backyard..any backyard- yours, mine. Call me!
7. Suntans. I just feel better with a little sun on my skin.
6. Fresh fruits and veggies! Corn on the cob, tomatoes, watermelon, peaches, cherries! MMMMMM!

5. Call me crazy, but I like the heat. I'd rather fan myself in the shade than shiver anyday.
4. Swimming and splashing! Just look at these silly kids in the pool:
3. The longer days! The evenings just feel so free and lazy. Catching fireflies and sipping iced-tea on the front porch. The dishes will wait- mine usually manage until 9pm.
2. Happy Hour at Sonic Drive-In. Oh, yeah. This almost made it to number one!
1. Fun, Fun, Fun! Summer is the time to be outside. It's baseball, county fairs, BBQ's and beach trips.

I agree 100% with everything. Love, love, love the summer season and can't understand why some of my friends don't. ;) I do miss wearing flip-flops though. Have not been able to wear those since
b4 my accident 16 yrs. ago. Enjoy it for me:9) I like your new background for your blog. Do you have a good website for that? I need to change mine again, I'm bored with it already.

Besides business being busier during the summer...I do not like it!!!

I realize my comment was negative...summer in Vegas...no fun! If I lived in California or Colorado during the summer I would be singing praises!

I know it's summer when I have strawberries, cherries, peaches, and nectarines overflowing from the refrigerator and counter. Hmmm, I hear a fruit salad calling my name...got to run.
