Memorial weekend... the unofficial start of summer
Here's how I plan to embrace summer this weekend:
- Eating strawberries
- Playing outside with the kids... maybe even on the new play-set Daddy will be working on
- Reading "A French Woman for all Seasons," my favorite way to begin each new season
- Visiting local Farmer Markets
- Playing in the garden
- Making fresh lemonade
- Brewing a batch of homemade Sweet Tea
- Trying new desserts with seasonal berries, including more strawberries
- Grilling outside
- Eating almost every meal outside on the deck
- Making some patriotic crafts with my daughter
- A picnic
- Lounging on a blanket in the grass while reading books, though probably Eric Carle and Dr Seuss
- Getting out the sunscreen
- Sleeping in fresh white lavender-scented sheets
- If it's warm enough, getting out the kiddie pool
- And eating more strawberries
How are you celebrating the summer kick-off?

Wow. You are going to busy. Have fun!!
CJ- I just received my Cappuccino machine that I used the gift certificate I had won from your great blog!!!
Thank you so much! I have been wanting to get one for so long as we have lots of overnight guests (2 different sets this past week!). A machine like this is going to be so great and help them feel more pampered in our home!!
I did a little blog entry with the giveaways I won lately (man has God been blessing me!)
I planted some strawberries and am hoping that mine taste and look as good as yours do!!
