Well yes that time of year is approaching, we all long for those long hot summer days, after the cold and dormant winter months. What always give me pleasure and marks the imminent arrival of the first sign of the advancing summer to me is the arrival of the first little “Swifts”. To watch these fast and agile little birds whizzing around from the comfort of my patio chair, almost in playfully dog fights, always brings me a smile and warm satisfaction that summer is arriving. What things, that you see, and enjoy trigger your pleasure in knowing summer is coming?.
Hi honey…
All the trees are in leaf, and the hedgerows full of birdsong…the nights are gradually staying lighter for longer…
going for walks without a coat!!!…..and all the gg’ s are starting to wear summer clothes….you don’t have to ask me twice!!!!

Bless you sweetie
Sea or river fisher, Eona?
Lake, yes forgot about them. You enjoy kayaking then.
No I don’t, and I absolutely hate fish, did canoe in my younger days, that was fun.
Gosh I watched some of those activities, very competitive sport. I did quite a bit of sea canoeing when I was younger, gosh that was so thrilling to catch a wave and torpedo onto the beach. Was fitter in them days to battle the waves.
I look forward to fires by the lake. Riding my Harley and jet ski but I really look forward to wearing a short dress tall heels and walking in the park… window shopping…and strutting around.
Summer shopping for beautiful clothes, definitely with you on that one Michelle.
The green grass, Flowers blooming, women strutting their stuff(and wishing I could), the absence of snow, lol,we received a gift of 3 inches earlier this week.
Hug, Regi👩💕Gosh late snow. Lovely to see the spring/summer meadows bursting with colour and scents Regine
Amanda I too love the smell of freshly cut grass. I was observing a local farmer the other day he was mowing a field of knee length grass, hovering above the fields were loads of Red Kite just waiting to see what lies beneath. Near where we live some neighbour’s have tree’s that has pink foliage really beautiful to see this time of year.
Love Sarah xx
Red kites have really made a come back, beautiful to see,Sarah.
I do so love summer, well till the humidity ramps up anyway. Nothing more relaxing than the sound of rain against the window at night or the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves. Very relaxing. The birds chirping outside my bedroom window at 4:30 am I could do without tho. Wish they could learn to sleep in a bit later. Damn, they wake up early.
Oh, and the sight of short shorts and bikinis can be quite pleasant too 😊.
The Purple Martins returning to build their nests in the barn just outside my horses stall, watching them flit about the barnyard. The Ospreys returning to build their best on my neighbors pier, and Dungeness getting to watch bald eagles in their mating ritual above the river. The grass growing in, I know soon we won’t have to feed the horses any more, they’ll eat grass all summer long. The big spring thunderstorms flashing lightning over the horizon, and the smell of rain in the air just before the storm breaks. And of course, who can forget the treasured sounds of sneezing. My wife’s allergies 🤧 screaming until the pollen settles out once ask the yes are in full leaf.

Oh they are so adorable are they not.
We’ll get the deer in our yard a little later in the year, they’ll stroll down the shore line once the water is a little warmer. Or maybe they’re waiting for something else? I dunno… for now they stay up the street a short distance in the neighbors yards. The other day we counted i think 14 or so.

Love the smell of fresh cut summer grass Gen
Well my beauty of the woods I can see the warm air of summer has tickled thy Volvo. Such a magical time of year from spring transition to summer, if only more people actually got out their cars and made an effort to walk, the beauty they come across is breathtakingly amazing. So lovely to get the shear cotton and lace dress out and soak up the early sun sweetie. Amanda xx
