Summertime is here (in the States)...that means swimming pools, snow cones, beaches, ice cream, fireworks, picnics, and HOT, HOT, HOT weather (at least here in Texas!) The 'real' summertime heat is just cranking up here in Texas this week as we head into the holiday weekend....very appropriate timing, of course! I'm not a big fan of the heat and thank God every day for air conditioning, but a lot of people adore the season. So, if you're one of the ones that love this time of year just stay safe and healthy with sunscreen, bug spray and water!!
When it's SO hot the days just seem to drag on a bit longer...maybe it's because we're always looking for relief from the heat. That's why it's called the "dog days of summer" and why I definitely don't admire those that have to work outside during the summer months. I'm not sure you ever get used to the heat, but I suppose those that work outdoors in the summer do in some way. How do you beat the heat?
As sunshine beams through my office window, I'm thankful for the changing seasons and enjoying the beauty of each one. So, since summertime is upon us here's to lemonade in the afternoons to refresh you, fresh garden salads to nourish you, standing in front of fans to cool you, and pools/lakes/oceans to enjoy all these summer days ahead!
Blessings to you as we head into this holiday weekend (in the States) as you enjoy family, fun, and fireworks!!
