Spring is over and the summer season is in full swing! I've been thinking about some of the things that I'd like to do and accomplish over the course of it. I know that, in reality, I probably won't get to all of them, but having a list will certainly help me to focus on the season and remind me to enjoy it to the fullest!

I love your Summer bucket list. Hope you can check it all off. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. It doesn't seem like much of a priority now, but I will check off as many as possible. Thank you!
DeleteYou always make the best lists! I'm trying to keep a garden journal this summer though I've not been very good about keeping up with it. Hope you get to do lots of the items on your list!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean! My garden has gone to rack and ruin in days of late, but I do like the idea of keeping a garden journal. What kind of entries do you make in yours?
