Hello July

July is here! And, IT’S OKAY TO DO YOUR THING, whatever that might be.

July can be filled with time by the water, hiking, keeping up with the lawn and garden, many, MANY trips to the ice cream stand, a beach getaway vacation, getting lost in a good book, treating yourself to that lobster dinner, and, of course, backyard grilling and all that delicious corn and those red, ripe summer tomatoes. And, for us, July also means keeping up with daily evening rebroadcasts of the Tour de France which begins this Saturday and runs for almost the entire month. It wouldn’t be July without the Tour. Oh, and I almost forgot…there’s the 4th of July which celebrates the birth of our country as an independent nation. And, I think I’ll just leave that one right there.
