What we LOVE about summer 🌞😎

It’s officially summer! #YAY

What do we LOVE about the season?

The Sun asked its readers to weigh…here are some of the highlights:

  • Longer days and more light in the evenings
  • Being able to use your backyard
  • The smell of freshly cut grass
  • Eating outdoors, both in your backyard AND on restaurant and bar patios
  • Flowers
  • Sleeping with the windows open
  • Driving with the windows down
  • Going to BBQs
  • The smell of grilling in the neighborhood
  • Getting a tan
  • Wearing shorts every day
  • NOT wearing socks
  • The first sip of an ice cold beer or a glass of wine on a warm day
  • Exercising outside

Also on the list (oddly) is being able to do more laundry (????)…if doing laundry is the highlight of your summer, you need to get out more! 🤣
