Ten Reasons Why I Need Summer to Arrive Promptly

1. Longer hours of sunlight…pleasant evening strolls with my favorite husband and pup, more time for grilling, etc, etc


2. The rebirth of vegetation! I dream of the vivid greens and bright hues of summer plants and flowers.


3. Al fresco dining


4. Summer fashions: flowing dresses, flip flops, swimsuits, big hats, big hair (why fight the humidity?!), minimal make-up & summer glows


5. Pool parties! (I’m resolving to host more this year.)


6. Television in reruns = cutting ties with the toob


7. Relaxing getaways to the lake


8. Long runs in shorts and tank tops


9. Losing myself in a book while stretched out a lounger beneath the summer sun (refreshing beverages optional)


10. A renewed lease on life…just in the nick of time to chase away those winter blues!
