Summer...

Summer is here and I've been inspired by Ali Edwards and other bloggers to make a "Summer Manifesto" to remind me what it is I want to really do this season.  Summer always seems to get here so quick (spring is just a blip) and then I blink and its fall.  I miss those days when I was a kid and summer seemed to last forever.  I want to try to get that feeling again.  So here's my plan for Summer 2012...

Go kayaking 4 times

Build the deck and set up the canopy and sit outside…often

Go to the ocean and get my feet wet and sandy

Grow some veggies and herbs and use them

Have a yard sale (August 11)

Take a hike or two

Go. See. Do.

Read 6 books – preferably outside on the deck with coffee!

Go on a picnic with wine and cheese and bread

Eat salad at least once a week – try new ones

Learn how to grill fish

Lobster.  Melted Butter.  Ocean View.

At least one weekend road trip to somewhere with John

Make fruit salad

Pick berries

Have a fire and make s’mores

Go camping (in the camper even if it's not completely done)

I tried to make the list something that could be done in the 93 days we count for summer.  I've already started a new book and the veggies are started too.  The deck plan is done and next weekend the shopping for supplies begins.  I'm off to a good start.
