10 Things I Love About Summer

Today is the first day of summer, hooray! There is a heatwave spreading across the US, with temps here in New York City set to hit a record breaking 97 by Thursday – ouch! We’re staying in, and staying cool except for a few places we have to go.

I love summer, and here are a few of the reasons why

  • The abundance of fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries
  • Waking up to the sound of birds and blue skies
  • Eating ice cream
  • Turning my face to the sun and feeling the warmth
  • Sitting in the grass at the park
  • Running through sprinklers
  • Taking it easy, slowing down and taking in my surroundings
  • Shedding the layers of clothes in favor of strappy tops, skirts, dresses and sandals
  • Buskers and drumming circles everywhere
  • Food trucks!

I really love these tips from Gothamist about Heatwave Do’s and Don’ts check them out for ideas for keeping cool over the next few days.
