summer list
Jun 24, 2010 Inspired by my friend Maggie’s Mighty Life List, I'm creating a Summer List. On Fridays, I’ll highlight a few ideas and launch us into the weekend with visions of simple summer lazyness.
This weekend, I hope to walk barefoot through the grass, eat a ripe peach, and read the Sunday papers outside. What are you planning this weekend? Send in your own ideas and we can create the Summer List together. Have a wonderful lazy weekend and see you on Monday.

This weekend I want to... play in a sandbox with my kids, volunteer my time, laugh uncontrollably, and look at the stars with my husband.
This weekend I want to ride my bike along the river, have a picnic with friends, and enjoy the sunshine.
I love this idea! Summers are so hectic with me with all of the gardening and my craft column so I'm not sure what I can take time to do. Oh, if it's not too hot we'll take a convertible ride to get some ice cream! Love the name of your blog!
This weekend - start hopefully with a rain free turf tots world cup (preschool soccer fun with food, games and fun). Set up the hammock in the garden and try it out. Play in the water while I water the garden. Visit the farmer's market and the beach. Popsicles or ice cream at any of the above (or all!). Love your list - want to most of them!
What a wonderful idea! Thank you for posting it--totally inspired me to make my own summer list (on my blog).
It seems like that last few years, summer has zoomed by and I haven't done most of the summer-y stuff I wanted to do. Not this year ;)
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog. I was feeling the same way about summer this year and started a little list too: go camping • see live music outside at night • take the tourist-y "hop on, hop off" sightseeing bus around town • go to the tea gardens • go on a waterslide • play skeeball • go to the flea market • take a boat cruise • play bocce ball • ride a bike • go night swimming. I'd love to see other people's lists too!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this post. Thank you for inspiring me!
Hi all, thanks for sending all these great ideas. Keep 'em coming and I'll share them throughout the summer in subsequent Friday posts. xoKelly
This is just TOO funny... I wrote a Bucket List of Summer on May 20 and have been chipping away at it ever since (http://bspokeblog.com/?p=1460). I am a summer-lover to the core, and this activity was my way of setting out to make the most of these short months. So far I've done everything from "hang a swing in the backyard" to "go fishing with dad" (and lots of other stuff in between).
From one summer-lover to another, happy list-checking-off!
