♬ ♫ Summertime and the Living is Easy. ♩ ♪
This week let's talk about Summertime.
1. What gave you the most fun in summer as a kid or as an adult? Some of the most fun to me was when we had a pool in the backyard and some of the cousins would come and swim with us.
2. Does summer heat get to you? How do you cope? Yes, it does. I cope by staying inside if it's really hot and muggy, fans help me a lot too.
3. Do you have summertime foods and drinks you really enjoy eating? Does your menu change in summer? I love watermelon and tomatoes and fresh garden items for dinner. We typically do not eat as heavy in the summer heat. Less pastas (unless cold pasta salads) and less soups and chilis, etc. Lighter fare and grilled items and veggies are wonderful! In fact, tonight we're having green beans with red potatoes in them and corn on the cob! Yum!!
4. Do you enjoy sitting outside or on the porch in summertime? How about some photos of where you enjoy being in summer. If it's not too hot I enjoy sitting on the porch and watching the hummingbirds and other birds. I'm enjoying getting up early 6-7am and taking my walk before the heat sets in for the day. That's been working really well for me so far.
We have 2 rockers on this porch and if I'm outside, this is where I sit. |
What a pretty house. I bet you enjoy sitting on your porch. I don't really have a covered porch, so I do not sit out much. Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

Thank you Lori. I don't sit out there as much as I'd like, but I can handle the mosquitos very well.
DeleteYour porch sounds so nice! I am not a morning person, or I would get up and walk. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteA fresh veggies supper sounds wonderful! With our sky-high temps and humidity, early mornings are my favorite time of day.
ReplyDeleteI love the front of your home. I love eating fresher produce and fruit in the summer too.
ReplyDeleteLoved your answers and it has been so much fun to read everyone's answers. the memories, the food, it makes we realize just how wonderful has been to live in this country and the blessings we have enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteNice front porch!! I enjoyed your answers and stay in where the AC keeps me comfy!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely front porch! If I had a covered front porch I would put rockers on it too. I just love to see rockers on a front porch! Good for you getting out so early for your walks! I can't quite make it outside that early, but we do try to go around 8:30 or 9, but even then it is getting too hot. Then we go again after supper, but tonight it is actually raining, so no walk for us. I'm glad for the rain, however. Your summer food sounds good!! We try to do the same.
ReplyDeleteSummer growing up was so much fun. We had a pool for awhile. Fresh garden items do sound good. Yum on your meal tonight! Looks like a nice porch. I love watching the hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI am all for staying inside on hot humid days. I just hate that it has to be that way.
