Despite the fact that we’ve enjoyed a very mild winter in Cincy this year with only one day of snow, I’m desperate for some warm weather! Yesterday as I drove across town to teach a creative drama class the sun was shining warm and bright and it was a mild 50 degrees outside. I couldn’t help imagining all the wonderful things I am anxious to dive into when it warms up.
– Selecting fresh eggs, cheese, fruits and veggies from the farmer’s market
– Blueberry and blackberry picking
– Long biking trips through wooded trails
– Days off to explore all the sweet little towns scattered throughout Ohio
– Dips in the pool
– Lawn games like washers in the soft, green grass out back
– Disc golf and rollar blading at the many, many gorgeous nearby parks
– Late nights and greasy eats at the drive-in theatre
– Scoops of Graeter’s ice cream
– Naps in the sunshine
– Trips to Coney Island, Cedar Point, King’s Island, and Soak City amusement and water parks
– BBQ hot off the grill
– Star-gazing on warm summer nights
– Bare feet and pretty sun dresses
– Devouring good books while cacooned in the hammock
– Cooking up lots of new recipes, tasty dishes, and pies from fresh, seasonal ingredients
– Re-planting my veggie and herb garden
– A gentle breeze, a waft of SPF, and the tinkling of wind chimes
– Frivolous little bakery dates
– Mini vacays to catch up with friends and family
– Driving in the Oldsmobile Cutlass with the roof down
Mmmm…so much to look forward to!!
What summery goodies are you patiently looking forward to?
