Summer Greeting

[Debbie]

I know it is not quite summer yet but I want to say, or type, Happy Summer Everyone! I hope you all have a nice and fun filled summer. ;D

[Chris too]

Thanks, Debbie! It sure does look like summer in Indiana. All the trees are covered in leaves, the gardens are growing, and the corn in the fields is already over a foot tall & growing faster every day. We have our little pool up and it's getting daily use by my kids, and we've been eating lots of watermelon & strawberries.

I love summer! I hope you also have a wonderful summer!

Thanks, Debbie! Summer is my favorite season, I always look forward to it! Hope you have a great summer, too!

Debbie,

Happy summer to you as well. Tucson is in full swing here. It's not quite noon and the temp is up to 91 degrees. We expect that it will hit 100 this afternoon sometime. Fortunately, I have a nice, new air conditioner.

The flowering bushes are beautiful. We have birds of paradise, bouganvilla, desert sage and many others. The cacti also are blooming. My neighbor has a beautiful golden barrel cactus that is outstanding. I expect to see the orange trees bearing fruit any day now.

I love the spring and summer seasons.

Happy summer to you to Debbie!

Summer has arrived in South Carolina! School is out, the pool opened 6 weeks ago. My daylilies are in bloom. Temps in the high 80's, and our first tropical depression went through yesterday. Sounds like summer to us!

Wow, what a pretty picture I am getting of all these differnt places....thanks for starting thread !!

Summer seemed to be here last week....80's temps....but then it turned cold and rainy yesterday and today....well.....that is New Englad for you !!

Green and pretty here, though....I filled my window boxes last week and they have already doubled in size and bloom. My phlox, primrose and wildflowers have all been blooming as well as the flowering bushes. My rhodendrons are in full bloom right now. My cleamtis. stargazer lilies, lambs ears and asters are all grwoing quickly, but not ready for blooming yet. But just the green looks nice and I love to see them return every year.

I had a hummingbird visit my yard yesterday.....first time I saw one of those in a long time....so hopefully he'll be back !

Oh, Debbie, did you have to rub it in? We barely had anything that qualified as a WINTER up here!!! (Wonder what kind of response I'LL get if I post a "winter greetings" thread in November, LOL!)

I have to say though, it is such a pleasure to just walk out the door without dressing the kids in twelve layers of clothes! My window boxes are done, my herbs are planted and I've already been using them in my summer cooking...MMMM!!! I'm trying to go low-maintenance this year, since this is going to be a tough summer with Aidan at 19 months old. He thinks "no" is an invitation to chase him! LOL!

;)Oh Debbie, that was very nice of you, thanks! It's been a long time waiting for summer but it is really finally here and I am going to savor every day of it because it just goes too fast! I hope you have a wonderful summer too and I am hoping we get to meet at the conference.
hugs, Robin

Debbie...happy Summer to you too. I hope our actual summer is as nice as our Spring has been, don't you?

I don't remember having as nice a Spring in a long time...cool nights moderately warm days...rain off and on...perfect!

How is your family doing?
