What would you do on a perfect summer day?

[NJmaverick]

Please describe your perfect summer day.

[carlyhippy]

1. on a beach, under an umbrella with a beautiful ocean in front of me

napping and reading a good book, taking frequent breaks to play in the ocean, digging my toes in the sand.

[NJmaverick]

6. Sounds like a great summer day

:hi:

[femmocrat]

16. That is my perfect day, too. I love the beach.

My dream is to retire to a beach house and walk on the beach every morning at dawn.

[Heidi]

2. This will sound weird,

but what I really enjoy doing early in the morning on a perfect summer day is washing bed linens and hanging them in the sun to dry, and throwing open all the doors and windows and giving the terracotta floors a quick moppin' with lemony-smelling soap. It doesn't take long to do these two little things, but they enable me to really, really, really enjoy the rest of the day. :)

[NJmaverick]

5. What would you do with the rest of the day?

[Heidi]

7. After I do those two things,

I would: work in my studio ("perfect" means no interruptions), maybe go across the lake with one of our goddaughters for an afternoon of people watching, go for a hike down up mountain, have an ice tea with a slice of lemon and no sugar, write in my journal or work in my sketchbook, polish my toenails, and (maybe) let CMW have a night off from grilling. :D

Thank you for asking. What would you do on a perfect summer day? :hug:

9. A perfect summer day I had a couple of years ago

I went down to Philadelphia. Went to the zoo in the morning into the early afternoon with a good friend of mine. Then we went to the place Ben Franklin's house used to be (and visited the museum). Then we went down to the South Street District (that is like the Village in NYC) and did some shopping and ate a nice restraint there. Finally a little more strolling and then headed back home.

28. We have a very nice spare room anytime you want to move in.

3. Wild sex in an open field of clover - after the wine, fruit, and cheese of course.

My wife loves all four ;}

[NJmaverick]

4. Lucky you

:toast:

[HopeHoops]

8. I'm thinking a fine merlot and definitely some gorgonzola on tart apple slices.

Gorgonzola is also awesome stuffed into strawberries - as is extra sharp cheddar.

[Bunny]

10. Sleep in, have eggs and sausage for breakfast (with mimosas), then go back to bed.

Later on, get up and take a shower, have lunch, then spend a couple of hours poolside with some nice cold drinks.

For dinner, maybe cook salmon or steaks on the grill, then sit on the porch, drink some beer, and wait for it to get dark. After dark, count fireflies and perhaps play a candlelit game of Uno, then back to bed!

Hmmm...apparently my ideal day consists of food, booze, and sleep. :crazy: :D

[NJmaverick]

12. lol, at least you know what you want

:P

[MissMillie]

11. go fishing!!!!

early morning fishing, warm shower, light lunch somewhere pleasant, an hour of reading, a nap, a good game of cribbage, and dinner w/ the family (they do the cooking and cleaning up)

[NJmaverick]

13. Do you need to catch any fish?

[NJmaverick]

14. Do you need to catch any fish?

[MissMillie]

15. Yes, but

they don't have to be keepers. I'm okay w/ catch and release.

[charlie and algernon]

18. same here

I went fishing two months ago and caught more bass than I've ever caught before, didn't keep a single one. They were all still small, about 10 inches long, and certianly didn't weigh much, but it was WAY fun!


:hi:

17. Fishing in the morning

Sking in the afternoon
Campfire in the evening

Good food, good friends, good wine/beer.

[NJmaverick]

19. Sking in the summer?

[One_Life_To_Give]

20. Best Time

[NJmaverick]

22. doh! I should have realized

[Callalily]

21. Get up early and

go rowing. The river is always so peaceful, so beautiful in the mornings. Then head to the beach for some swimming, reading and people watching.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

23. a day on the river in a skiboat end it with an evening of

a nice meal, good wine, a good movie and star gazing on the deck. that is one scenario. there are others.

[MajorChode]

24. ...

[Rambis]

25. Lounging in the hammock by the lake

deciding if I need a nap or go swimming.

[NJmaverick]

31. nice

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Perfect summer day to me is a rainy day. So I stay inside and read and write

and maybe drink coffee and later have some cognac and smoke my pipe.


However, if I'm forced to buy in the oppressive meme of the perfect summer day being a sunny day with warm temperatures, a meme foisted upon us by a great hegemony of the unjust, then I will say that a perfect summer day could be one spent outside cutting up vegetables in preparation for canning or freezing, perhaps a bit of fishing, and a supper grilled outside and then at darkness, a walk to the shoreline to watch the sun set over the Pacific.

[NJmaverick]

29. While I generally enjoy summer

I can appreciate the pressure for outdoor activities.:hi:

[EndersDame]

27. Getting my splash on at Barton Springs

just kinda slightly high and then commence to go to Bouldin Creek Cafe for some yummy food and then go to Flipnotics Cafe and listen to some Erik Hokkanen (sp)

[Lucian]

30. To be able to spend the whole summer day with the woman I love.

:)

[hippywife]

32. It would probably be

camping with my husband in the mountains where there was a nice cool river full of trout that we could broil in butter over a campfire.

My other choice would be to have an extra day or two at home with all my household chores done so I can do all the canning and preserving from our garden that I want to do. I love our home and garden and really love any day that I don't have to leave here for any reason at all.

:hi:
