Friend Making Monday: 10 things I like about summer

1. Eating watermelon on a hot day. There is nothing better than the slight sugar rush you get as you bite into a firm, juicy piece of watermelon.
2. Flip Flops. I wear them year round but it is nice not to get strange looks like I do in the winter.
3. Camping. I love camping and we went a lot when I was a kid. I'm so happy that I married a man that loves it as much as I do.
4. Watching Ethan play in the sprinklers. It brings back memories of being a kid and sneaking the sprinkler under the trampoline even though our parents and grandma said not to. It was worth the spanking.
5. Easier Meals. Doran doesn't care what dinner is when hes hot so I can get by with a few easy meals like Tomato soup and Grilled cheese or even plain tuna sandwiches.
6. Jam. I have not had or been able to make it is some time put I use to love canning jam. It was always so much yummier than the stuff you buy at the store.
7. Canning. I know I'm strange but I can remember canning with my mom and always loved how saticfing it was to see and taste the effort I put in. The most important thing I ever learned from my mom came from when we were canning. She told me "What you put in is what comes out." This I have taken on to the rest of my life.
8. Swimming. Last year I didn't really get to go because I have relay dry hair and swimming makes it worse but Doran bought me some special conditioner for after we swim.
9. Heat. Now those of you that live here might laugh but it gives me an excuse not to go out and exercise.
10. Evening walks. Doran and I take walks sometimes in the evenings during the summer. I love this time because there are no distractions.
