It is almost the last day of July. I thought I better check in on my Summer Sand Pail list and see how I am doing. (If you want to know why I have a summer bucket list, go here.)
My Summer Sand Pail List:
1. Eat Tomatoes from my Garden. (And if you knew my garden, you would know what an accomplishment this would be. Last time I grew vegetables, the cucumbers came out orange and the green peppers smelled like cat urine -according to Dan.) Still waiting, but I see little green tomatoes coming. But I’m so thankful the woodchuck living under our deck didn’t eat my tomato plants like he ate everything else.
2. Watch the Sun Rise from my Front Porch Very relaxing and I had some company.
4. Visit the Nearby Petting Farm
5. Host a Great Summer Dinner Party Still to come, but really hoping the deck is finished.
6. Go to the Beach one Early Morning Went for breakfast on my birthday. What a fun way to start the day.
7. Bring Flowers in from my Garden Lovely!
8. Have a Garage Sale Success! I made about $300.
9. Pick Strawberries and Blueberries with the Kids Might have missed this one due to a short season.
10. Have a Picnic Check out our 20 Minute Teddy Bear Picnic.
11. Have a Date Night Picnic
12. Entertain with Candles and Twinkle Lights on my Deck Waiting on deck to be done.
13. Make Snow Cones for the Neighborhood Kids Yep, this was a blast! See it here.
14. Make a Sandcastle Cake
15. Visit the Zoo Each Month Getting close.

19. Have Sweet Boy fish with “Uncle Aaron” Again This Summer
20. Go to Old Glory Day Celebrations Probably one of my favorite things about living in a small town!
