Go out more this summer

I'd like to take horseback riding lessons, the farm across from us offers them I believe, but I think it'd most likely be expensive. My dream is to one day own a farm but to be honest I'm not sure that I could handle it yet. I believe the dream will come true. Sorry for blabbing though... Hmm Fishing and horseback riding. I haven't talked to my husband yet about maybe going fishing more this summer but I will when he gets home, I'm sure he won't complain, he's been working hard and neeeds the rest and relaxation. I've seen wood chips in gardens but never realized they help prevent weeds! If that's the case we should try that here!

Yep! Big wood chips and lots of them, nice and thick. But I'm waiting till my first bulbs come up first, so I don't bury them, too. If I did, they would just take longer to fight their way through them, that's all. Part of the garden, around my perennial shrubs that are there all year, I put a layer of filter cloth down on the ground first, then put the wood chips on. That will pretty much stop ALL the weeds. The wood chips alone, only slow them down. But I can't put the cloth over my bulbs or I'll lose them for good. Yes, me and my husband enjoy fishing together quite alot. One of the reasons I want to do more of it. It is alone time, relaxing and fun, too, because we always bring home a good catch and are able to brag about it to our friends. Although, we usually share the feast with them if they didn't come along. You blab away anytime you like, my dear.

Thanks for the tip about the wood chips. As for fishing, my husband has fished before but I don't think he ever brought any home to be cooked, I don't know how to cook it and I doubt my MIL would want to. We'll be fishing with a friend though so he may take them, I don't know.

Wow, here it is still very cold but hopefully will warm later in the week so the Weather says

It is already warm here for us, It was up to eighty five degrees farenheit at one point last week. I've had to make sure Hubby had sunscreen on all this week it seemed.

I sure hope I will. Right now I am not sure how much we will be able to get out this summer, I know in the fall we will be going to the beach. Right now it's a bit windy and the sun has come out, it was rainy weather not too long ago. I think I prefer rainy weather sometimes over real hot weather, but hot weather has it's advantages as well.

Yes Pollen Issues and then way too hot isn't fun either. I remember a few summers ago I was working at a store to whom's air conditioner went out, when it was finally fixed it was ice cold which was better. I kind of liked it being hot though, we could sweat off weight haha, and drink at the registers even though regularly we weren't allowed too.

It sounds like you've got everything planned out. All we know for certain is that we are going to go to the beach most likely and that my husband and I are going to have a cookout with a friend of his. We also need to hang out more with other friends, etc. We always go to the same place on the Fourth of July so there's no planning there unless someone wants to do something different.

Hehe, you've not been much on my discussions but when I say "we" I mean my husband and I so I've got someone to spend the time with. Yes summer time is loads of fun! Have a great day, thanks for stopping by and responding.

I think it is going to rain here today, it surely looks like it. I'm hoping my husband and I can go out sometime this week when he's off and just enjoy the beautiful weather! I burn easily so if I go out when the sun is high and hot I'll need to lather some sunscreen on! Have fun out in the mornings and evenings, I love early morning summer and spring!

I think I heard on t.v. how bad NJ had it one time. It was bad here too but I don't think anyone was as bad as Washington! I'm glad winter is over now, I love the warmer temps!

We have a couple of public parks we visit, just to walk, and see something different. One park has a goldfish pond, and another has swans, geese and ducks. There is a park with a walking path around a lake that is nice as it goes by the ball diamonds.Even when the weather is really hot it always seems cooler at that park. You are right that you can do things that do not cost a lot, but give a change of scenery and let you be together.

There are things we can do though without needing much money or any at all. I do want to hang out with our friends and go fishing or something. Maybe one day when both you and rickey have a day off we can just go out for a day and have fun. Drive around and go fishing, have a picnic etc. I know you hate it when it's hot and your working but when your not we can always go do something fun, maybe even if it's just take a frisbee and throw it around. I do want to go to the beach this year too!

I know what you mean,like we did today where we went down to the river and had a picnic with our buddy Matt,and we could get a frisbee or something and play outside and we still need to go fishing,and GardenGerty those places do sound really interesting and there are always places where we can go look at things and a change of scenery is always good.

Yes summer is a great season to just kick back and relax, to enjoy lots of different things. Travel, food, bbq's, sports, fun times with friends and family! My husband and I are planning to spend time with our friends more this summer.

I haven't went swimming in a while either. I don't know that we will swim but we'll definitely have fun just fishing and relaxing. Yep we were just chatting on the other site!

well to fish we'll be going to a pond or something. Hmm, but when we do go to the ocean I may play in the water a bit.

Yeah.. whooo,... just imagine the waves and the beautiful view.. I feel like taking a bath now. Totally hot now..

It's not too hot yet, and it doesn't really get too terribly hot here either. I can't wait until it's summer though to enjoy just being out and having fun! Have a great summer!

It is good to hear that you now enjoy the summertime wherein before you did not. I hope you enjoy this summer and spring!

I do not tan, I burn. My skin is very white so I usually burn if I'm out in it for too long! Welcome to mylot!

I know what you mean, the winter was sooo long here, I am so glad it's starting to warm up. We were able to take our electic blanket off our bed. I'm still out of work myself for now so atleast we won't have to worry about working around my schedule uneless I find a job!

Oh I am very sorry to hear about your mother with cancer. I am sure she is thankful for you staying with her and helping to take care of her.

Yea I wouldn't like temperatures that got up that high or constant tornadoes, I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything because of those two things. We have tornadoes maybe a few a year, but it never gets up that high, or if it has it's very rare! If it didn't get that hot where you are I don't think it'd be that bad, I'm not really sure what causes tornadoes so I don't know if the weather has something to do with or not... lol.

Oh, dear! Tornadoes? We have had a seldom few here and only very small ones. And I also hate the extreme heat. When it gets to 90 degress Farenheit, I am just toasted and exhausted. Don't want to do anything, but lie around and find somewhere cool and something cool to drink. I get heat stroke very easily, so I really have to watch it when I have to work in the heat. So, I try to do most of my work in the morning and evening hours

Oh I haven't ridden a bike in a few years but they are fun to ride, just enjoying the weather! I hope you do go out and have some fun on a nice day. Maybe pack a picnic basket and just have fun!

That would be nice.

Online earnings is definitely a great way to help save up for that vacation. Also it can help prevent needing to spend so much out of pocket as in a way the money is "Free" have fun earning!

Hello Moon! How are ya? Well I hope you can go on that vacation you want to go to. Last year we didn't go on vacation either but this year we hope to go on vacation. It will be nice to just get away for awhile and have fun. We also plan to have fun around here by going fishing.
