We just watched a big tree removal from a neighbor's property, it was really cool too see it happen.

7/25: Do you have a summer tradition, or one you'd like to start?  I take off from work the first two weeks of July.

Hope you got to enjoy the morning weather today @Titian06. I had a couple of orders melt from the heat and humidity even though they were delivered prior to 9:00am Also hopefully you dodged the bugs.

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 what a great summer activity,  enjoying the morning!

[CorgiMommy]

Road bking,  hiking and hanging at the pool

Hanging around a pool sounds like a perfect summer activity @CorgiMommy what do you bring with you?

7/18: Summer beauty must-haves? Sunscreen (and don't forget to reapply!), as well as makeup products that help control oil & shine.

7/19: Cook out/barbecue: what's on your menu? Veggie burgers, corn on the cob 🌽 and watermelon 🍉

7/20: Summer hairstyle you want to try. It's not really summer-specific, but one of these days I'm going to finally learn to French braid my own hair.

7/21: How to beat the heat...and minimize frizz? Drink lots of ice water, keep the fan going, maybe some fruit popsicles...and for frizz, I guess leave in conditioner? Idk, I'm still figuring out how best to deal with the frizz issue 😅

7/22: What things do you like to gift for summer birthdays? No one in my immediate family has a summer birthday, and I don't really gift by season, anyway, so much as what I know (or hope) the individual person would like.

7/23: Favorite summer memory? I loved summer vacations as a kid, and I have lots of fond memories of childhood summer fun - summer camps at the local Audubon center/nature preserve, picking berries with my mom and brother at local farms, and I was a big reader as a kid, so of course the summer reading programs at local libraries were always a huge deal! I remember picking out new books to read on the car ride for our annual summer trip was also a big excitement every year.

[CynthieLu]

Yes SPF and reapply, it's a must 😁👍

Your summer vacation memories with your family sound wonderful. 🚗 

You could totally learn to French braid own hair @caitbird it just takes some practice. That style would be lovely on your hair. 💝

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  thank you! 💜

[CorgiMommy]

7/24 favorite Summer memory

Visiting National Patks on simmer road trips.  When I was a kid these places were less crowded and very mysterious.

[CynthieLu]

Those sounds like beautiful memories  @CorgiMommy I think nature and it's natural wonders are so good for us when we're kids. 🌲 🏖️ And not bad for us adults either 😉

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu I stillenjoy these trips but now in the fall instead

[caitbird]

@CorgiMommy  those sound like wonderful memories! I've only been to a couple of National Parks in my life (would love to visit more, though), and they are such beautiful places.
