Not to be a Debbie Downer…..I’m definitely not grateful for the summer solstice today, because today is the longest day of the year, which means every day after will be less daylight from now on - boooo!!

I do love summer though - it’s my favorite season of the year

#1 - No Coats - I’m grateful to have about 3 months that I don’t have to wear a coat.

#2 - Pool Days - I haven’t had any pulled days yet because the water has been too chilly, and the weather hasn’t been great either. It’s gonna feel like 100° outside this weekend so I’m looking forward to finally getting into the pool.

#3 - My Birkenstock - 95% of my summer footwear up Birkenstocks and I am very grateful for them. I buy a new pair every year. I also wear a pair year-round inside the house. They are my favorite shoe.

Happy Friday, friends

Longer days and warmer weather. A freshness of brighter times ahead. By God's amazing grace, I continue to get stronger day by day.

Dad and I God willing, will have our new flooring installed at the end of July. That will get me closer to home.

Summer set books and movies can be a lot of fun and a way to vacation from home.

No Snow I was gonna say no ice but we keep getting hail so I can’t say that
Little less humidity would be nice but at least it’s not freezing cold I’m very grateful for air conditioning but that humidity does a number on my hair

I agree with SLO after today we lose sunshine every day until the first day of winter I do find that rather sad but I’m extremely grateful that when I get up it’s nice and sunny and it’s still sunny at 8:30 at night very grateful for that

All the beautiful flowers and the birds and all the little baby animals very grateful for that

Sitting outside at night hopefully with a cool breeze and a ton of mosquito repellent to enjoy the wildlife

Less traffic because school is out

Work seems less crazy more people take vacations in that way when you take yours in the fall everybody’s back at work and it’s easier to get time off

Less traffic because half of the 34 houses on our block are empty

Morning is cold here in Yuma 68 degrees with a high of 110

Snakes.. neighbor has found 3 and I have been able to pick them up because they are motionless at 76 degrees.. skinny racer snakes...our gravel yard is so dog urine saturated.. one taste with their tongue..no way and they go to neighbor concrete driveway

I sleep outside after starting on the sofa and recliner.. I am growing a beard to keep the no-seeums and mosquito off my face and have a fan above my head

103 day I outside by 2:00...112 day 4:00.. but then that is just to hear our rodent doves

I’m probably one of the few who is grateful for the summer solstice today. I have trouble sleeping when it’s daylight outside, so this time of year I am always sleep deprived. I look forward to it getting dark around 7:30-8:00 pm and not getting daylight before 7:00 am. I dislike how hot it is in the summer and I really dislike hurricane season, so I will be grateful when both are gone and it’s nice weather again (and the smaller electric bills that go with it).

Summer is my favourite time of year!

1. Warmer weather - meaning no coats and love not having to put the heating on.

2. Lighter evenings & mornings - means more time to get out and go on walks before it goes dark. Also makes it easier to get up in the morning for work when it isn't pitch black. Although I do agree that it being a little darker would help with sleep - it'd certainly stop my cat from waking me up at 4am...

3. Summer clothing - love to wear summer dresses, sandals, tshirts and anything suitable for the summer months, without having to wear tights, jumpers and coats.

Fighting ants and earwigs right now so it’s a bit of a challenge to find the gratitude for summer!
