Think Summer...

Summertime always sneaks up on me.

I usually dig my feet in when it comes to change... but I try to embrace the change of seasons. It's one of my favorite things... the change of seasons!

.

Summertime change can bring...

.

Quality time with my teenager

.

change of foods.. grilling, fruits, salads, garden veggies, yum.

.

I always seem to change my hair for summer (more highlights this year)

.

summer goals (that was fun to blog last year... I am working on them for this year)

.

Summer job for the teenager (hmm what will he do this year)

.

church girls camp (it's becoming a regular part of my summer traditions)

.

the change in weather (trying to embrace this... I am a winter girl, not a fan of the hot sun, but learning the bliss of water, it keeps you cooler when you are hydrated, and it's fun to play in with the dogs)

.

changing my schedule... all the work has to be done early before it gets too hot outside

.

changes around town - the local farmers market, and museums and the Friday night outdoor bands at the train depot and the music festivals at the park

.

the change in the sun... summer sunrises and sunsets are so beautiful and hopefully it brings a change of pace to go see them from a new place or maybe vacation spot

.

change of dreams... my dreams are different in the summertime

.

changing entertainment... summer movies are so fun, and totally different than winter movies about elfs and grinches (which I love too)

.

change of colors... in clothes and decor in the house; and I love summer sheets on the beds.

.

change in sounds and smells... I love the smell of fresh cut grass, and bbq's outside... and the sounds of running sprinklers in the early mornings and the wind chimes on the back porch on a cool breezy evening.

.

I am beginning to "Think Summer"... it is definitely a time to cherish the moments!!
