Summer is my favorite season so I really have too many "favorite things" to name. But this summer I have loved the natural beauty of my state. For a few weeks in May we had rain every day so every thing is green, green, green. I love driving the back roads and seeing the dark, almost shiny green corn growing in its neat rows for acres upon acres. I love watching and examining all the different plants growing in the gardens. Swimming at the river, fishing, reading a book on the porch, days spent at the pool, grilled hotdogs and smores, making jam and canning food with my dad, dates with my hubby when we just walk around the park at dusk....those are few of my favorite things!
