Remember to have some fun this summer! You could sleep in your yard and star gaze. Tonight is a new moon and the Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak tonight and tomorrow.

Think about making a picnic and taking it to a park, the beach or the mountains.

Visit a local berry farm and pick some berries. Or visit a local Farmer’s Market.

Take a friend on your favorite hike, or find a new hike to explore.

Make some ice cream or sorbet. Fruit sorbet is simple to make: blend your favorite fruit with some sugar and water and freeze.

Go whale watching or visit your local zoo.

Find a local band and go dancing.

Find a good spot to watch the sunset.

Invite some friends or family and have a garden party.

Find a place to paddle board or take a float on the water.

Sometimes we get so focused on our responsibilities that the chore brain that we can take over. Don’t let the joy of summer pass you by! There are so many fun things to do in the summer!
