Ten Ways I Know Summer is Here
1. I should buy stock in Bandaid.
2. The laundry seems to have tripled.
3. I’m pretty sure the laundry stains have quadrupled. I should buy stock in Fels Naptha.
4. My floors are dirty about five minutes after I mop.
5. It’s a great day when I can wear my cut-off sweatpants and no shoes all day.
6. I am filling my hummingbird feeder every time I turn around.
7. I can’t seem to get on a schedule.
8. The weeds are growing faster than I can pull them.
9. All I want is salad for dinner.
10. I dream of lying about all day in my porch swing, eating strawberries and sipping lemonade, and reading a great book. I dream about it as I run kids to soccer and swim team…
I know summer doesn’t officially start for a few more days, but it’s definitely here at our home.
It is here at my house too!
I agree with the part about the laundry!! Now there’s bathings suits and towels x 4 boys! What a great post, thanks for sharing. :-)
We finally have blue skies and warm temperatures (after weeks of gray and rainy weather!). It is supposed to be in the 80s this weekend. Unusual for SE Alaska, but very welcome! The only fly in the ointment is literally flies: March Flies are absolutely swarming right now. They don’t bite, but they are annoying! The swallows and bats are happy, however!
I was just telling my son today about the two summers I spent in Alaska… one working in a fish cannery on Kodiak and the other traveling around, but mostly staying on the Kenai river in a little cabin. I don’t remember flies, but I do remember mosquitoes! Despite the pesky bites, I love Alaska!
I quite agree with your ten ways! I just hope that you have a good summer with the family!
