Friend Makin' Monday - Loving Summer

For Friend Makin' Monday, Kasey asked, "What do you love about summer?" That is an easy question for me.

I LOVE summer! It is my favorite season. I love almost everything about summer.

1. I love the long days!

2. I love the hot weather.

3. I love going to the pool.

4. I love fresh, backyard garden grown vegetables, especially tomatoes. (Btw, we have one tomato plant on our back patio this year so hopefully we will have our own tomatoes.)

5. I love taking my kids to the spray park.

6. I love how life is a little slower and more relaxed in the summer.

7. I love how the traffic lightens up around here in the summer.

8. I love going camping in the mountains where it is a little cooler and less humid than here.

9. I love wearing flip flops and that my kids can wear Tevas every day (and not having to put on socks).

10. I love not having to deal with jackets, hats, and mittens.

And..
I also LOVE the beach. We don't go very often but I love it!

I miss that it did not get dark on the East Coast until 9pm. It is getting dark here before 8.

What a great list, Renee! I love wearing flip flops, too! (Of course here I wear them over half the year, haha!) And, yes, lighter traffic--it really is noticeable there, especially in August!

Tina said...

Great list and I agree I like that life slows down in the summer!

Happy FMM!

Love your list. I love the beach too and wish we could go again this summer. There's always next year. Lighter traffic is nice too...five more winks!

Can't wait to hear about your tomatoes! My Mom dropped by my office today and brought 5 pounds of snap peas from her garden plus peaches that she picked in a nearby orchard! YUM!
