Good morning! The first official day of summer is just around the corner and I have been thinking up a list of things that I would love to do. You know the quintessential things that summer is all about, long lazy days with family, enjoying barbeque’s, or time at the beach.

3. Plant an herb garden
4. Make S”mores
5. Go camping
6. Take a Summer Vacation
7. BBQ
8. Fireworks
9. Eat Cotton Candy
10. Visit the Boardwalk
11. Visit the Farmers Market
12. Go to the Drive In
13. Visit the Zoo
14. Spend the day reading
15. Make lemonade
16. Go on a road trip
17. Watch the fireflies
18. Pick some wild flowers
19. Go on a picnic
20. Long walks with my husband and my pups
21. Make homemade ice cream
Of course there are a ton of other things that I would like to do but these are the highlights, after all it is the little things in life that make it worthwhile.
What are your summer plans? Do you have a list of your favorites? Whatever you plans I hope that you find time to spend with family and friends and that you travel safe.
Have a great day!

I love your list my friend! I have been reading everything under my sun lately, and I could keep going! But I do want to visit the zoo, go to the lakes regularly, and use my basil in a few recipes! Enjoy! Anita

Hi! LOVE your list, you nailed it with all the very best that summer has to offer, many of those things I will do and just mentally added a few more:)
So much to do in summer and love the lazy, schedule free days…adore a picnic and choose that every year for my birthday! Happy Wednesday!!
Great list!
I must be deprived. I know what s'mores are, but I've never had one.
I love your list.
I counted 9 items we have already done this summer or are coming up soon. I will have to some of your items to my lists.
Hi Elizabeth, I like your list:) and can't wait to indulge in a few ~ or many! of these things! xxleslie
It all sounds like the makings of a fabulous summer. Enjoy!
Hello Elizabeth
A wonderful list and I think you have covered it all. We enjoy picnics at the beach.
I would love a smore right now.

A fabulous list!!! I'm looking forward to exploring more of Maine. And sampling lots of yummy ice cream 🙂 cheers!
Elizabeth, dear , how are you? Thank you so much for thinking of me and visiting me! I think of you often, and my computer time seems to be shrinking as the year goes on. Several reasons for that, but I am trying to adjust my schedule for blogging again…I love it and miss it so much.
Your summer list is wonderful, and I have many of those on my list as well!
Since my girl is now a teenager, her idea of fun is definitely changing! 🙂 Wants to spend more time with friends, so I am trying to adjust to that as well.
I hope your summer will be full of special joys, Elizabeth! (I love your photos here….beautiful)
Still looking forward to meeting you in Wisconsin some day… 🙂
Love to you, my friend…

This is an absolutely perfect list, Elizabeth!! I am trying hard to enjoy this summer…this week I have spent several afternoons "playing hooky" by the pool! I wish I still lived at the beach, though (your IG pictures are making me homesick). Hope you are having a lovely day! xoxo
