Summer List

Foxglove in my back yard.

A few weeks ago, the lovely Martha posted about making

a summer To Do list.  Not chores, but fun things...things to

make sure she enjoyed the season to the fullest!

I thought was a good idea and have been inspired that

she has already done some fun things like see a waterfall,

buy an ice cream cone and watch some fire works!

Since it's now June and we're all done with graduations,

open houses and wedding showers, I thought I'd put my mind

toward enjoying summer and make a list of my own.

And I'm not really late, right?  Summer isn't official until

the 21st!  Even though Memorial Day does seem to kick it off! ha.

Funny thing is, when I think of a To Do list, it's chores!

My mind started thinking of washing windows, weeding

flower beds and organizing the garage.   I readily admit

that I have a hard time doing things that seem lazy

or self-pampering.  But that is all the more reason to

jump into a list that is merely for the enjoyment of summer!

So, here it goes!

1. Eat a banana split
2. Visit a farmer's market
3. Go on a picnic
4. Take a "Sunday afternoon drive"
5. Fill the planters with flowers
6. Make strawberry preserves (or any fruit)
7. Watch fireworks
8. Make s'mores
9. Add bling to flip flops and wear my own creation
10. Plant a garden of veggies, herbs and lettuces.
11. Try a new kind of fruit
12. Make homemade ice cream
13. Buy that Foxglove I've wanted for years
14. Take the boys on a train ride
15. Get my colored pencils out and try drawing again
16. Have morning coffee on the porch swing
17. Take some bread to the pond and feed the ducks

And today I planted the Foxglove!

And I've started on the garden and flower pots.
Have I forgotten anything??

I'll have my list on my sidebar as of tomorrow so I can

check off things as I do them!  And you can hold me accountable

to do something besides blogging and chores. lol.  :)

Thanks, Martha!
