Welcome to the pond

Things are kinda slow around here lately. I'll have to really think and come up with stuff to post on here. Thankfully there are memes to do, like the Sunday Brunch:

Summertime
"Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language." -Henry James

Summer is here in Texas with a vengeance...and it's here to stay until late September. We always joke here that we have two seasons here, winter and summer, with a few days of spring and fall thrown in for good measure.

1) What are your plans for the summer? Are you planning on taking any trips or vacations?

I don't have any plans yet. There may be a concert or two to attend, and photos to take, but nothing beyond that. As always, there's the Scandinavian Festival in August too.

2) What is your favorite summer activity?

I think swimming is my favorite summer activity, although I don't get to do it that often. Eating corn on the cob, strawberries and ice cream is good too.

3) Do you sunburn easily or tan well?

I'm pretty white, so I burn fairly easily. I do try to use the suntan lotion as much as I can to prevent that from happening.

4) Do you enjoy the warmth and heat and rejoice in it, or shrivel away from it and stay indoors all summer long?

I enjoy it as long as it's not TOO hot. If there's a good cool wind blowing, that does a lot to make the heat bearable. High 60s and low 70s is the perfect temperature for me.

5) What is your least favorite thing about summer?

My least favorite thing are all the BUGS and insects you get! Bugs creep me out and I try to avoid them as much as possible.
