***have you checked out this post & left me a comment to add your blog to my blog roll???***
I have always loved Autumn. It is my favorite time of year and when I feel most "alive". The smells, the colors, the glorious crisp air, the temperatures, just thinking about it leaves me counting down the days.
Neither Hubs nor I are big summer fans. Neither of us are overly obsessed with water or the beach, nor do we really like heat. Basically we are big old party poopers... But, in an effort to change that, or at least make the time until fall arrives go faster, I have made a list of all the things I'd like to do this summer:
1. Attend an outdoor concert
2. Make homemade ice cream with fresh fruit
3. Create a summer playlist.
4. Take walks after dinner at least three times a week and enjoy the sunset
5. Make time to meet up with friends for Sunday brunch
6. Bake cupcake flavors/styles that I haven't made before
7. Watch at least one summer blockbuster
8. Attend some sort of food festival
9. Go on a road trip
10. Create a signature cocktail
11. Read a few new chick lit books by a pool
12. Go on a 10+ mile bike ride down by the train tracks
13. Go on a romantic picnic with hubby
14. Visit the batting cages at least 5 times
15. Go mini-golfing or to the driving range
16. Check out the National Aquarium
17. Go to a local farmer's market a couple of times
18. Fill the house with fresh flowers
19. Check out the local area flea-markets
20. Go to a summer fair
What's on your summer list?

I'm a big fan of both summer and fall.. I LOVE the beach, the warmth, how everything is alive.. but I also like the fall because of the leaves and cool air..
I think the list you made seems like a lot of fun :-) I really want to go on a road trip and check out the local farmers market!
I have two--they do free movies in the park around here, and I'd love to go. I'd also love to go to the Hot Air Balloon rally!
I'm with you, I love the Autumn. I always feel like that's the time of year that I feel the most alive as well! But I still like summer, and we're trying to do some of those "summer" things before it's over! I love your list.
I hate the beach too!
On my summer to-do list are playing tennis (we already did it once - yay!) and spending as much time outside as possible. Not really making a HUGE amount of progress on that one, but will keep working at it!
I'm a beach girl, but I agree. Summer is not my fav!
I hope you share that signature cocktail recipe!
Homemade ice cream with fresh fruit. YUMM! When we head to the beach, there is a place along the way that does fresh peach ice cream - sigh.
Food festivals are a great way to get out during the summer. I hope you'll check a few of these off your list & start to enjoy summer more. :)
