I hope
everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend!
I definitely did. The weather was
fantastic and I was able to enjoy every minute of it. I spent time around town, drinking and eating
too much. Visited our friend’s pool for
a little relaxation, and was even able to make it to the beach for a day. Why are margaritas so delicious? I do not enjoy the super sweet ones, but the margaritas
made with tequila and lime juice, yum yum!
Memorial
Day is the official start of the summer; not only in the south, but all over
the place (I do not care what the calendar says!). My parents in the North can finally start
using their pool and the sunny days keep getting longer and longer. I love when it stays light outside until 9
pm. In addition to the sun staying out
longer, it also comes out earlier, which means I can start my runs a little bit
earlier and get a few more miles in, before rushing off to work.
I have
had to add to my morning to-do list to water the garden. It doesn’t take long, and every day it seems
as though my plants are growing a little bit more. I made guacamole over the weekend, and it was
nice being able to go out to the garden and just cut a bit of fresh cilantro to
add. I picked my very first cucumber and
I was overjoyed. It was big! I also know there is going to be a lot of
tomatoes to eat this summer. A fresh
salad that is great to bring to any picnic is a cucumber and tomato salad. It is quick and easy to prepare, but very
delicious! Plus the cucumbers, tomatoes,
and basil are all from my garden. J
