♫Summer time and the living is easy says the song. So how is summer going for you? Let's talk about it.....
1. How has it been so far? At first it was very cool and chilly at night. We had one hot week and how the weather is perfect. In the 80s and high 70s with lovely breezes. The ocean is lovely and nights are cool and refreshing.
2. What have you been doing this summer? I have been doing okay this year. My pond is crystal clear and the fish are happy as can be.
3. What are you going to do? Any plans? I am going to the baseball game this coming week. I've been to the rodeo and I want to go for dinner on the boardwalk with my family sometime soon and have a dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant as well. New Jersey is overwhelmingly Italian and we have Italian restaurant all over the place and all so good! I plan to sit out by the pond a lot this summer too.
4. It's been hot in most of the country but here on the Jersey coast it's been perfect so far. Not too hot, not too cool but just right with breezes. How are you weathering the heat. Any tips on staying cool on hot, humid days? Clothing, food, drinks, fans, air conditioning? Let us know your secrets to keeping cooler.
I have air conditioners in the house and fans too. I use them most of the summer if it gets hot. I make homemade iced tea every few days and drink it with a ton of ice. I think cotton is perfect in summer and I like to eat salads in summer for my meals. Tuna salad, egg salads.. I make them large with tons of veggies. I also like salmon croquettes for summer meals and fresh caught fish from Point Pleasant where they fishing boats come in. Of course they operate all year round but, I love it in the summer most. I look forward to Jersey tomatoes which are very good here, fresh corn on the cob and hamburgers and hot dogs. This makes a perfect summer time.
Oh Annie, I would love to come sit by your pond and enjoy the fish swimming around enjoying themselves. Sounds so very calming. After reading your yummy summer menu I'm starving. lol

ReplyDeleteMost other years we went to oen of the villages at sea to enjoy the weather.
