Home and garden sites, magazines, retailers and home improvement stores are summer trends central. I say if you can’t beat ’em, roll your sleeves up and play I spy summer.
I believe it’s safe to assume we all hope the extreme polar storms of this past winter prove to be weather exceptions and not rules.
Although the arrival of spring is not without a few twists and bumps, the current weather is more like it.
My dad always says if the weather was like this year round the property values would skyrocket.
The mild afternoons and evenings that come with this time of year really do come close to sheer perfection.
We had a late afternoon out of nowhere burst of spring showers yesterday.
As walking luck would have it, my mother and I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing the showers first hand.
We channeled our inner Gene Kelly and made the most of it as we sprinted back to the house.
What I’d tell you about twists and bumps!
Like a really good movie trailer, those drops of liquid sunshine, warm breezes and summer trends build home decor and entertaining anticipation.
Bravo, summer!
You have succeeded in guaranteeing I will be buying a ticket to the best outdoor show in town better known as summer.
