Now thats its July, I do believe Summer is finally here. Summer is my favorite! There is just soo muich to love about it! Here are some things I love about Summer
1. Floating
I love floating on my blow up pool toys on large bodies of water. Summer is not complete without at least one good float. A couple of years ago this meant floating down the Willamette from one side of Corvallis to the other. Pool toys do not count as boats because you are "swimming", thus no life jackets required. It is glorious. This past weekend it was nice and hot and we went floating on Green Peter Lake

2. The sun
At the end of spring/beginning of summer this bright yellow thing appears in the sky. It makes it very hard to see. Then you remember it is the sun. And the sun is wonderful. It gives us all the Vitamin D we need for several months and washes away any seasonal depression that may be lingering. I know the sun is bad for my white white skin, but I do not care. I flock to it whenever I can. I may have gone too far this weekend when I got pretty burned, but today at work everyone kept commenting on how good and vibrant I look. You can visibly see me burning in the following picture

3. bonfires
One of my favorite activities is a good bonfire. This can occur at the beach or simply in someones backyard. A few marshmallows might be roasted and good conversation takes place
4. Random Parties
People are more social and have more fun random parties
5. Farmers Markets and Fresh Berries
