Wordless Wednesday

Heat Wave

Beautiful sunshine,

you know I love you, 

but why must you be so hot?

An ice cold bottle of water

on a day like today

just doesn't quite hit the spot.

Stuck in the house,

sweat pours like a river

from places I didn't know it could

I've now had enough,

I'm beyond fed up!

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!

I'm grabbing my swimsuit,

my sunscreen, my drink and

I'm headed to the pool.

It's A Beautiful Day

"It's a beautiful day. Don't let it get away."

June 21st - The Official Day Of Summer

 Today is officially the first day of summer for 2011.

 Needless to say I LOVE SUMMER!!! 

Everything comes alive when the SUN comes out.

So grab a tall, cold glass of iced tea, beer or any other thirst quencher,

your favorite sunscreen (Hawaiian Tropic, of course),

an Ipod full of  good music,

and head off to a quiet corner of your back yard or the beach to relax.

I hope you enjoy this first day of summer!

What do you love about summer?

Soothing Saturday

There are some things that soothe the soul like no other.
Here are a couple of mine for this Saturday.

Soaking up the sun

After laying out, the initial shock of cold water on very warm skin.
 Very refreshing.
