Summer days driftin' away

For those of you who do not already know, today has been extremely hot! Not to mention humid. On days like today, I often think of things that would make the day a little less hot and a little more bearable.

Of course, the first thoughts that come to mind are food-related.

my favorite snack in the world

Who doesn't like fresh avocado slices on a sandwich or salad or homemade guacamole on a hot summer day?! Love making guacamole with fresh avocados, a dash of salt and pepper, splash of lemon or lime juice, fresh tomatoes from our family's gardens, and a little bit of purple onion! Delishyy!

Or what about  a slice of cold, juicy watermelon?! Watermelon is definitely one of those things I can't get enough of in the summertime!

 A nice, cold glass of lemonade makes any day better. Especially the freshly squeezed kind. Well, crystal light works, too, either way lemonade makes me happy! I love the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." This quote is cheesy, but true. We should make the most of every opportunity we have in life and seek to bring the best out of any situation that may come our way. You're gonna get what you give!

What makes your long, summer days better?! Of course, mine are food-related, but a good book will do it, too! I am in the middle of reading "Heaven is for Real." Great book--short and easy read. Definitely recommend it!

Well, y'all, there's some random thoughts for you from me on this hot day. Hope you all have had a Happy Thursday--the weekend is right around the corner! {Yay!!} We're getting ready to leave for Meridian, MS this weekend to see my little sister-in-law Erin Morgan at the State Junior Miss program. She is currently serving as Jones County's Junior Miss, and will be competing at the Mississippi Jr. Miss program on Saturday. We're so proud of her!

Bye for now blogger friends!
