I’m for that – got my rubber sandals, got my straw hat…

Technically my flips are leather, but regardless I am glad that it’s here.  Friday evening I cut the lawn (it was way overdue) so I did not need to take care of it over the weekend.  Saturday morning I planted the vegetable garden (finally) with tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, as well as zucchini and cucumber seeds; Saturday evening we had dinner and beverages with friends at their house in Gillette; Sunday afternoon BBQ at my in-laws’ (more food and drinks) and a Monday morning march in the Long Hill Township Memorial Day Parade with the Cub Scouts, followed by a late afternoon BBQ at home (even more food and beverages!) and finally planting of broccoli and cauliflower in the garden.

The weather was hot and humid – not  as bad as it gets in mid-Summer, but enough of a reminder of those dog days to come.
