Today we are one week into Summer, and one week away from the 4th of July. We have had one week of 90 plus temperatures, humidity, and scattered thunderstorms, Flowers are blooming, everything is green and pretty. Mosquitoes are buzzing around as are the wasps, gnats and flies. The fleas and ticks are out hunting for fresh blood from the animals, and humans if they can manage any that don’t wear OFF!
But summer also brings out the swimming pools, beach towels, swim suits and sun screen. Flip Flops are the shoes of choice, and shorts and sleeveless tops the fashion of the season. Leisurely walks with the dog on the end of the leash, wanting to make the walk a lot less leisurely.
It is the time for soft ball, socker, golf, tennis, and pickle ball in the park. Trips to the zoo and the amusement parks are always fun, and exciting. Adventures to special places such as The Ark and Creation Museum, or The Builtmore make great learning as well as entertaining trips. The history and the beauty of each is spectacular. Maybe a trip to Graceland to see where Elvis Presley called home would also be a look into the music world. Speaking of music, a trip to Nashville, to The Grand Ole Opery and the Country Music Museum would be fantastic; So much to see and do all over Tennessee and Kentucky.
It is picnic season and grilling season. Fried chicken, potato salad, cold cuts, ribs, and baked beans. pickles, olives, salsa, and radishes. Ice cream and cookies, cake and pie. All sorts of good foods to cook up and enjoy outside at the picnic table or a blanket on the grass, under a big shade tree. Don’t forget the pitchers of ice tea..Southern sweet, or just with a fresh slice of lemon.
Time to get back to this Friday and what is going on now. Dinner this evening will be salmon, angle hair pasta and a veggie. ice cream bar for desert. Not bad for a Friday evening supper.
Wah’s House Hold Hints; You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. The joy comes from knowing you are able to do that something for someone.
Have a Fantastic Friday, and weekend. Make it cheerful, adventurous, productive and fun.
