It’s the little things in life that bring the most joy, here is a summer fun list to savor the season and enjoy every moment.

Summer Fun List
I mentioned a few days ago that I felt like the end of summer was just around the corner and I was promptly corrected by some friends that summer lasts until the end of September. Point taken. But I have seen signs that Fall is approaching in my neighborhood; the bark shedding from the crepe myrtle trees, night falling a little earlier, back to school supplies creeping into the stores. I began to wonder have I done everything that I wanted to do this summer?

I compiled a little summer list just to see how far I have gotten and to remind myself to kick things into high gear if I want to accomplish most if not all of my summer fun list:

- Visit the farmers market
- Eat corn on the cob
- fresh fuzzy peaches
- enjoy fresh picked cherries
- host a barbecue or two
- make s’mores over an outdoor fire
- catch a firefly
- take long walks on the beach

- look for shells at the beach
- relax in the sun with a good book
- drink fresh squeezed limeade or lemonade with friends
- watch the world go by from my porch
- go to family reunion

- take a road trip or two with my husband
- build a sandcastle
- kayak
- enjoy a BLT or two with sun ripened tomatoes
- go to the drive in movie(for the first time)

- make homemade ice cream
- go sailing
- watch the fireworks
- look at the stars
- take a nap on the porch
- eat a wood-fired pizza

- have my niece for a two week “camp”
- swim in the ocean
- watch the dolphins frolic in the morning

- visit a lighthouse
- go to the botanical garden
- go bike riding

- go to a bonfire
- have a picnic
- roast marshmallows
- try out the family Airstream

- spend a week at the cabin
- walk in the woods
This list is by no means comprehensive as I keep adding to it as I check a few things off. But it is a reminder to “stop and smell the roses” as they say. After all summer is to be celebrated and enjoyed by everyone not just kids.

Tell me, do you have a “bucket list” of things to do this summer?
What have you been up to?
Is there something special that signify’s summer to you?
Give it some thought and let us know, maybe you have something fun on your summer fun list that we should try.

That’s All for Now
I hope that you enjoyed my summer fun list. A gentle reminder to myself and to you my friends, life is so very precious that time is not to be wished away or squandered and that the little things in life are the big things.
Enjoy your day!

Wow love this list. You reminded me of how much I love BLT'S and may make one for myself today! I have many things on my list that have not been unchecked yet, cannot believe I have yet to sit on a beach with a book ALONE and UNINTERRUPTED for a few hours, one of my favorite things to do….hopefully soon!
How did I miss your post????????
Those zinnias, oh dear, what a glorious flower. And you are so right; TIME is not to be squandered – and REST is actually not an idle time, but a necessary time to process, to allow the body to heal and to refresh. It was so nice to see your comment last night my friend – the sun is bringing back so many memories as I sit here in the midwest and a dear family member is battling cancer on the west coast. Oh the power of memory. Anita
Summer is indeed whizzing by! I can't believe August is right around the corner. So much left to do and see. I'd love to squeeze in a visit to the beach. But for now, I'm just happy working in our garden (when not so hot). And, enjoying all the parking spots in town 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

What a great list!! I need to start checking a few things off my summer list, as well.
I did just finish an excellent book which I think you would like…Fin and Lady by Cathleen Schine…it may be my favorite of the summer so far.
Take care and have fun crossing things off your list!!! xoxo
What an exciting list, summer is at long last under way here in Europe and I'm doing most things I planned. I'm just hoping that both my sons can make it to Brittany sometime this summer, to make my holiday complete.
Have a great weekend

A walk in the woods would be very welcome about now!
