Well my friends, summer is upon us. I thought I would share some things that come to mind when I think of summer.
S.
Of course the S stands for Sunshine and Swimming. Both things we associate with summer, but how about SHASTA DAISY? Mine are in full bloom right now.
U.
For those hot days of sunshine we take comfort under our UMBRELLA.
M.
Nothing says summer quite like a sweet slice of MELON
M.
And like it or not, it also brings out those MENACING ANTS.
E.
There’s nothing more enjoyable than EATING a delicious meal outdoors. (Dolly set this spread out for us when we went to visit her)
R.
I always think of reunions in the summer time, but also one of my favorite things to do is to RELAX in my own back yard!
We made the fun watermelon slices and ants when my sister, Jeanne and I visited our sister, Julie in Ferron a couple of weeks ago. Her hubby cut the wedges out of logs with a chain saw. Our friend, Dolly drilled the golf balls for us and we created this colony of ants.
Doesn’t that picture make you think of the song, “The Ants Go Marching One, by One?”
You can bet we sang it while we worked!
hugs,
Jann

Cute little ants - the only kind I would want in my yard.
Oh what a fun post, Jann! Love love love those watermelon slices and the army of ants...now that just screams summer to me:)I'm also loving the cute picnic baskets and the beautiful aqua crate filled with white daisies! Thanks for the summer inspiration! Hugs,Poppy
The watermelon and ants are so cute and creative!
Oh Jann, your cute little ants are adorable. And you know I love melons! Your yard and all the decor is gorgeous. Nothing like summer in Utah! I was planning to go to Flea-Attitude this weekend, and I would be in your neck of the woods, but my plans changed. . having a yard sale instead. Darn! But I plan to be in Payson over Labor Day. Flea-Ology will be having their great market going on, and Payson is my hometown. Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog. I just love hearing from you. Oh, please don't give away any Precious Moments until you have checked with me. . LOL! See you in a couple of days for your Daily Cup. . .Hugs to a sweet Bloggy friend. Karie

Those ants and melons are so funny! Cute idea! Enjoy your lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!
Wow! I thought the melons were made out of foam!! This is an amazing idea and I love the ants (a better use of the golf balls me thinks!). xx
LOL I do believe that your ants are the FIRST ants that I have ever loved! :)
Love your salute to summer. Those ants are the cutest with the watermelon slices. What fun. Adorable!

Hi Jann, I love this post you did of summer and you are so creative making the watermelon and the ants! I just LOVE your talent.
Take care, Julie
Your ants and watermelon are just the cutest, so clever! BUT my favorite in your patio and your rocks! Those rocks are amazing, I can't get over them. We don't have rocks like that where I live, LOL. Gorgeous Jann!
Your parade of ants and watermelon slices is adorable. I'm impressed that you girls made these!
Your acrostic was fun. I always had my students use an acrostic as a form of poetry. Reunions ~ such fun to get together with family or friends.
What a cute post! I love the watermelons and ants! Your daisies are beautiful. They're one of my favorite flowers along with Sunflowers :)
Oh my,
I just love your garden ~ so beautiful and what a cute decoration with the ants and watermelons. Thanks so much for sharing.
Take care,
Karen
Hoorah! Hoorah! The ants go...sorry, but you go me going there. The watermelon and ants are cute. I had a watermelon chunk just like those one time. Your backyard is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this at What We Accomplished Wednesdays! Have a super week!
Hugs,
Deborah
How cute are those ants and watermelon slices, Jan!
What a fun project with sisters. A memory you all will never forget for sure -- song included!
I love your yard and that boulder retaining wall. Looks like the perfect place to spend a lovely summer afternoon.
Thanks so much for sharing!
