1. Catching Fireflies! Also known as lighting Bugs. They come out in early summer evenings and brighten up the whole day. It's like watching fireworks all summer. I remember catching them as a kid and putting them in a jar.

2. Later Sunsets. I can get home. Make dinner and still have time to sit in the backyard and watch the sunset.

3. Fresh fruits and vegetables! I love going to the grocery store and picking out fresh fruit and vegetables. I love the variety and all the beautiful colors.

4. Lounging in a hammock or under a shady tree! I love having my devotions outside on the picnic table by my secret garden and the grape arbor. I love the flowers and cool breezes.

5. Ice cream or icy pops on a hot day. Eating something really cold on a really hot day.

6. The smell of newly mowed grass. Also seeing a nicely manicured lawn from my office window. (the smell is the best though!)

7. Beautiful gardens blazing with color. I love all the beautiful gardens, roses, hydrangea, crepe myrtle, magnolias, honey suckle, and of course daisies!

8. Wearing sandals or flip-flops! I love to hear the clip clop of flip-flops. I like having my toes and feet aired out. I like having my toe nails painted.

9. Cool looking sunglasses and beach hats. Maybe its a flash back from my days of reading Seventeen Magazine and the ads that said, " Who is that behind the Foster Grants?" but I love cool looking sunglasses and beach hats.

10. Going to the beach. Catching a few rays on the beach, finding pretty seashells or just wading. It's always better at the beach.

11. Vacation. Traveling to new places and seeing new sights and sampling the food.

12. Swimming Pools. Always cool and inviting on a hot day.

13. 4th of July Celebrations . Complete with fireworks, flags, parades and watermelon!
