Today’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge from Long and Short Reviews is favorite things to do in the summer.

This one I can go on & on about, as being able to move around because the weather is warmer & everything doesn’t hurt as bad is a blessing. I love to plan & maintain my garden, as it makes me feel like I am helping contribute to my family eating more healthy food. Why my kiddos are weirded out about eating fresh food from a garden versus food that is in a grocery store I will never understand.

Going to the beach. The beach is my zen place, as most of my thinking, reminiscing, & healing have been done while sitting on the beach.

I love to cut into a watermelon on a steamy hot day. Something about very cold watermelon and summer is just freaking amazing.

Fry-outs as typically around Father’s Day, we get together with my father, who is known for making amazing brats on the grill. They taste so good. This is the only time of the year I eat them. So it’s kind of a cool summer get-together thing I enjoy doing.

There is so many other things I could go on & on. Can’t wait to read what my fellow blogger enjoy to do in the summer. If you would like to participate in the next Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge from Long and Short Reviews, click here for more information.

Watermelon is one of my favourite fruits.

I loved eating peas fresh from the garden when I was a kid. Your kids are lucky!

And, yeah, there’s nothing like spending time at the beach.

There’s nothing like fresh fruit from your own garden!

I love watermelon but not the heat. I always feel like I’m melting.

Love the beach…. the feel of the sand under my toes… heaven. re: gardens. I don’t have one, but my oldest daughter’s family does. Her kids love eating vegies fresh pulled or picked.

I could sort of relate to preferring Sugar Pops to the healthy homemade desserts my mother got into making when I was a kid…but if children prefer fresh produce from the supermarket to what grows in the garden, something is wrong.

I do love watermelon. Grew up in one of the best areas that grows them, but I don’t like hot weather. I enjoy my flowers but hate to weed. I can tell you are one of those great gardeners that weed :)
