Summer

Canadians celebrate summer. They appreciate summer. They enjoy every minute of it. I love that about Canadians. It is one of the traits that I truly admire. If the sun is out Canadians go outside and enjoy. They love going outside and doing outside things and doing things outside. They do not say I will go outside tomorrow. They love summer. You go to the park and there is a lot of people there. There are people on bikes everywhere. There are dog walkers, tennis players, golfers, baseball players. Everywhere you go people are outside celebrating summer. What a happy season.

I am outside doing flower beds. And I love that. I do not mind the weeding and resetting the bricks around the flower beds. I love planting flowers. I love thinking about flowers. I love the plant stores. I hate the ants and I have declared war on them. I may be winning the war. I have tried for years to get rid of them. Chemicals and the natural stuff. Now I am on borax and sugar and it is working. I still have a few ants but not the thousands that I had before.

I got new lounging chairs for outside..... I do not love them. I like them lots but do not love them. I found the most unique most comfortable and very excellent quality patio chairs and I loved them. I really loved them. I really wanted them. I saved my paychecks for 3 months and I still don't know why I don't have them but I don't want to dwell on that because it makes me a little sad but I have some other ones that are okay. They look great and are comfortable and make the backyard look like a million dollars. They recline and have a foot rest. I got a side table to put my books on and the diet coke. Almost heaven. You need to come over and see them.

I have to say it is very handy to have a daughter that loves to read as much as I do.... She will go to the library or to the website and order books all the time and then she lets me read them. It is awesome. We like a lot of the same books so that is cool too.

I LOVE SUMMER TOO! I loved the way you wrote this made me smile thinking about everyone outside-flowers make me happy too and the yard looks beautiful. I'm excited the ants are dying!
