Summer is here! Summer is here!

Oh my goodness!
After several days of bone chilling temperatures and cold rain, I had to pull my coat out of hibernation for a while. I can safely say that I am permanently hanging that coat back up and putting it in the back of the front hall closet with all the other heavy outerwear items! 
Now it's time to move on to flip flops, bathing suits and loose, comfortable fitting tunics...
Sunscreen, sunglasses and magazines a must. Straw hat is optional. Iced tea is mandatory!
I will be poolside with the children today.
I am grateful for the wonderfully glorious day that lies ahead...
And while summer doesn't truly start for another month, summer is a state of mind, and in my mind summer starts... NOW!

I'm celebrating watermelon
ice cream
hot dogs
hamburgers with all the works
swimming pools 
the beach
oceans
boats 
sunglasses
flip flops
bare feet
sundresses
straw bags filled with great summer reads
iced tea
lemonade
an ice cold Stella
bottles of chilly Veuve
lobster rolls
sand in my hair
sand in my toes
sand in my sheets
slowing down when the opportunity presents itself...

On this Memorial Day I will also remember, honor and celebrate all those who have dedicated and given their lives for our freedom.
