A Taste of Summer

I love the weekend. This weekend we helped our friends move some of their stuff into their new house. Saturday morning we were up bright and early watching our little slugger play his baseball game. Donald worked in the yard trimming the bushes which had gotten a little out of control. The boys pulled out the slip and slide and had a ball.

I even saw the king snake in the asiatic jasmine. Who knows how long he has lived there, but I have seen him every summer since we moved into this house eight years ago. Seeing him means summer has arrived.

Tonight we were all relaxing and one of the boys suggested we watch a movie that we had recorded. I said sure until I remembered... we have school tomorrow. BUMMER! I had already jumped off into summer land.

National Bike To Work Day

Did you know that today is National Bike To Work Day? What a great day for it. After several days of rain, the weather is perfect to strap on your bike helmet and bike to work. Of course, we are lucky because we live relatively close to our boy's schools and my husband's work and Ridgeland is installing bike trails all over the place so it is very bicycle friendly. For some, like my sister who drives from Clinton to Vicksburg, biking would definitely pose some hazards and require leaving REALLY early.

When I checked the national website, there are not currently any activities listed under Mississippi, but I am sure that Mayor McGee will change that with the opening of all of our bicycle trails.

Whether you bike to work today or not, I hope today is great for you. It's FRIDAY!
