SUMMER BEGINS

As Monday morning dawns, my idea of summer begins. Why? 1. Pools open up 2. Smells of neighbors grilling fill the air 3. It's light enough and warm enough to take a walk after my daily grind is over. 4. It's light enough and warm enough to sit out in the morning with my dog and enjoy that first cup of coffee. 5. I can leave my windows open all night and not freeze. (Yes, you got it - I hate air conditioned air.) 6. Fresh fruits and vegetables are abundant. 7. Life slows down. 8. Garage sale signs start popping up on various street corners. 9. I actually have time to write like I want to. 10. My job-job is on hiatus and my passion has time to grow. So, as summer begins, what are your favorite things to do.
