Its the first day of summer and if feels like it too.

I know we get tired of those very hot summer days  but they really are beneficial for so many reasons. 

All those fruits and vegetables arent going to grow themselves.

Biting into a tomato warm from the sun and right off the vine is an experience everyone should experience at least once.

The extra sunlight time is pretty nice too.

Drive in movies, outdoor concerts, picnics and cookouts are things I look forward to.

Fireflies, butterflies, ladybugs are all welcomed in my garden.

Stomping around in creekbeds looking for interesting rocks.

Splashing in a pool or lying on a float listening to music or a book.

Farmers markets, festivals, summer dresses and sandals.

Always welcome a new season and appreciate all it has to offer as you get older you realize they dont last as long as you think.
