Friday Refresh - Welcoming Summer

Hey there,

I was on my walk this week when it hit me – we’ve officially crossed over into that muggy, buzzing, wonderfully chaotic season we call summer. Gene reminded me that just a few months ago, we were trudging through the same path in snow boots and puffy coats. Funny how quickly we forget winter’s grip when the fireflies start dancing! ✨

Summer’s Sweet Spot Is Here ☀️

There’s something magical about this transition, isn’t there? One day you’re scraping ice off your windshield, and the next you’re planning which friends to invite over for drinks on the back deck.

What I’m Most Excited About 🍓

• Entertaining family & friends – because nothing beats good people and good food
• Gene working his magic on the grill – seriously, so good (and I don’t have to cook or clean up… yes please!)
• Chasing fireflies at dusk – yes, even as adults!
• Fresh garden treasures – tomatoes that taste like tomatoes, sun-warmed strawberries, and herbs that make everything better
• Sun tea & fresh-squeezed lemonade – store-bought just can’t compete

Your Summer Challenge 🌻

What’s one simple summer pleasure you’re most looking forward to? Maybe it’s reading on the porch, starting a new veggie patch, or finally mastering that grilling technique you’ve been putting off.

Whatever it is, don’t wait for the “perfect” moment – summer’s magic is already here!

Cheers to warm evenings and cold drinks,

Kecia
