S-L-O-W down and smell the lilacs

Spring/Summer is finally here so make sure you don’t miss it!

June has been a blur of activities and I fear that if we don’t consciously slow down we might miss Summer. Remember snow, cold and darkness? Well now is the time to sit on the deck with your feet up reading a book or just closing your eyes and thinking about nothing. Ignore everything inside and enjoy being able to be outside as much as possible. We eat outside every night unless it is raining, no exceptions.

Go for a walk every night after dinner, even if it rains, get a bike and use it and encourage the kids to play outside as much as possible. Invite family and friends over for a BBQ this week-end and ask them to bring a dish and don’t worry about everything being perfect.

Pick lilacs and place them throughout the house, their sweet fragrance is a nice reminder of summer.

Go for a drive this week-end and bring a picnic, Sheep River Falls is a perfect place to spend a day or head to Cochrane and treat the family to icecream after lunch. Take lots of photos as you are creating wonderful memories that will help you get through the next long, cold winter.
