It’s officially summer and boy does it feel like it! Mother Nature finally cranked up the heat. I’m not a fan of the heat, but I do love how summer feels a bit more laid back.
Traffic isn’t as busy in the mornings because no one has to go to school. We can spend more time outside – not covered in layers – and I like spending time at the lake or the pool when it is stupid hot outside.
We’re finally getting our patio redone – after three years of trying to find someone available! – and I am so excited to be out in the backyard using it this summer. I always enjoy going out and reading in the backyard and watching Dobby run around exploring or munching on a stick. Now we’ll have a beautiful new patio that isn’t all cracked and uneven to enjoy. I’m pretty excited! I’ll have to share some pics when it’s officially done.
The Fourth of July is only two weeks away which just seems insane. This year is flying by! I love the Fourth and getting together with friends to go watch the parade and fireworks, and eat really good food. Next to Christmas, it’s the best time of the year.
The one thing I don’t love about the summer is trying to go for a run or walk the dog in the heat. If I want to run outside, it’ll pretty much have to be all early mornings – or be miserable if I wait! It is nice not to have a million layers on, but it’s also nice not to have heat stroke too lol. I’ll just have to get a little creative with my workouts too.
Anyway, I’m going to keep it short again this week. I hope everyone is out enjoying some summer activities and staying cool! Let the summer fun begin!
Until next time! 🙂
