Raspberries… (or what is your favorite thing about summer?)
My raspberry bushes – a bumper crop this year!
Standing on the front porch at 10pm, thinking how cool it is that the sky is still light in the west!
Leaving for work in the morning with hubby (teacher) and kids still in bed, fast asleep!
The smell of summer evenings, especially late at night.
Kids slow down and relax, away from the daily influence of friends at school.
Driving down to hubby’s home area (farmlands of SW Minnesota) at least once a month and gauging the growth of the corn and soybean plants as we drive along country roads.
Feeling totally justified in having an ice cold beer as I make supper.
Having about $100.00 extra dollars to spend from each paycheck because I don’t have to drive my kids to and from school each day.
Running errands for boss because I get to leave the air conditioned, fluorescent light office world and enjoy the sun and fresh air.
Planning an August driving vacation – thinking about Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Watching son’s baseball games and visiting with parents in the stands.
Watching kids’ hair get blond streaks and seeing their lightly tanned faces.
What are some of your favorite things? I‘d like to know, especially if it is an activity particular to your part of the globe.
My favorite summer activity is eating Theresa’s raspberries–they are yummy!

I guess I have other favorite activities in the summer, too–mainly change of pace (slowing down, sleeping later) and camping. We enjoy our travel trailer, and especially visiting Cornerstone Christian Music Festival every year. I also enjoy sending our kids to camp, and the break they get from us (and dare I say us from them!) and hearing how much fun they’ve had and how they have grown in their relationship with God during that time as well.
