On the nice days (which are few and far between here), my children and I will do our bike rides around town and go for our weekly picnics to the local park. When I have time to myself I love to just sit out in the sunshine and read a good book. *Sigh* I wish Summer would last forever.
August 21st, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Over the next few weeks, I will make sure to go out to the cottage and have dinner on the patio as often as possible!
August 21st, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I will continue to have picnics in the park- whatever the weather.
August 21st, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Spend as much time outdoors as possible.
August 21st, 2009 at 1:54 pm
think positive and think summer.
August 21st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Feed the ducks at the park as often as possible.
August 21st, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I will still take early morning and early evening walks, wear lighter clothes, and not pack my white shoes away until October!
August 21st, 2009 at 2:15 pm
keep on bbquing
August 21st, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I like to take one day at a time, and not think of it being over in a few weeks.
Each day is a new adventure whether it's exploring a local park, or going to a local tourist trap.
I'm not ready to put the shorts and flip flops away.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:25 pm
i will try to have as many picnics and barbeques as possible
August 21st, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Take advantage of each sunny day by bbq'ing, sporting my flip flops & keeping my socks packed away!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:15 pm
people in MB know that our summer has not been very memorable so everyday we have had that has been decent we have been out for the entire day,enjoy it to make memories that will take you thru winter
August 21st, 2009 at 4:23 pm
well first of all i am refusing to look at all the advertising, it just makes summer seem shorter ,and taking alot of day trips and going into complete denial that summer is winding down, not ready to pull out the rain boots yet
August 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pm
I will be walking a lot and appreciate the beautiful nature surrounding us.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pm
I will walk and use my bicycle until the snow comes.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I will enjoy each and everyday as if it were the last day of summer by going to the ice cream bars a lot.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:17 pm
To keep summer lasting much longer I am extending our closing of our swimming pool for a month longer. This way we can enjoy more days of Indian summer hopefully.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:18 pm
I am extending closing of our swimming pool at least a month. This makes teh summer feel so much longer.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Just sitting on my patio in the early morning with a good cup of coffee and listen to the birds chirping.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:36 pm
I'm replanting lettuce , spinachradish and other fast growing veggies to have salads out of my garden as far into the fall as I can . I'll put covers on them as the weather gets colder to push it to the limit.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I've refused to change the calendar, it still says July, and the weather backs up my story
August 21st, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Ill be spending as much time in the garden as long as I can.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Golfing as often as I can.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I'll be heading off to Europe at the end of September! Spain should still have some summer left when we are there!
August 21st, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Well i have been enjoying time with my kids outside playing in the yard and going for walks.
As time goes so fast you need to enjoy each moment.
I can not beleive that school is almost here.
I have enjoyed my time with my boys keeping busy.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I'll be moving. My daughter enlisted and needs a nanny for the next year. So lots of packing going on here. This prize would come in handy right about now.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I will dry my laundry on the sun and I will be wearing my shorts and my flip-flops as long as possible!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:12 pm
We're going to fit in a few more weekends of camping. We might even camp right through Sept. to extend our summer.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:21 pm
I am going to make every weekend last as long as possible just relaxing!!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I'm freezing as many fresh summer veges and fruit that I possibly can. I know I'll love myself for it come winter.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:39 pm
I am going to keep on wearing shorts, t-shirts, flip flops right into September, regardless of the weather.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:51 am
I will keep my hammock up maybe even all year and while lying in keep planning new ways to extend my garden and in the next week begin building a vertical garden on a southwesterly wall so that I will have lettuce, rads, spinach, and summery looking veggies in October.
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:13 am
I will continue to play and enjoy the great outdoors until it starts to snow, then I will put on a coat and continue to play
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:47 am
I am enjoying being able to leave the windows open for fresh air and being able to leave the house without a jacket on. Little things you miss once it gets really cold.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 am
I will be enjoying the pool in my backyard well in to September!
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 am
I'm going to enjoy the rest of the summer with anticipation of things to do outside like swimming, gardening, biking, and visiting little towns. I will have the attitude that summer has just began (because it's only recent that the weather has really begin to get hot and humid like the summers we're used to), and I'd like to have summer barbecue parties outside with friends and family.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 am
I too love the little things that summer offers....like having a shower and not having to dry your hair before walking the dog....and sitting on the front porch with a cup of tea.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:47 am
We plan on one more camping trip and if we can we will visit some local attractions. I have already started my back to school shopping so in a way it feels like summer is close to over
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 am
Well, I am going to put on my sunscreen and go sit outside under my misting fan...even if it's raining or cold! LOL
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:19 pm
The kids and I cleared the patio of all the furniture and are having scooter races
We are also trying our hand at pie making, blueberry. We are having a great time just enjoying the days 
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Barbecue...sail...and go the the CNE...and get outdoors as often as weather permits...
p.s. I am a subscriber!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:05 pm
We are squeezing in as many end of summer local festivals and markets as we can find. Also doing daytrips to local attraction that we haven't seen before. The weather has been great for it lately!
August 23rd, 2009 at 12:51 am
Love the Botanical Gardens in Montreal and outdoor cafés. And for the rest of the days, I'll go swimming and eat BBQ fruits and veggies and great fresh crispy salads. Outdoor is the best to enjoy summer in style. In my dreams, I'll be moving to Florida or some place like that, lol.
August 23rd, 2009 at 1:00 am
Summer is like Christmas, I wish it were Summer all year long. I go horseback riding more often and eat out al fresco. Prepare more scrumptious sandwiches and eat lots of ice cream. I will indulge in pure simple pleasures such as ice tea on my porch in the company of friends and family.
August 23rd, 2009 at 1:14 am
I love movies. I'll be going to Cine-Parc until they close. Catch the outdoor shows in Montreal. Visit Quebec City. Eat outdoors at home in my backyard or at restaurants. Take care of my garden. Get a nice massage, a pedicure and manicure. Keep the same pastel lipstick longer.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:38 am
We relish every super hot day we are given and treat it like a holiday. In BC we NEVER take heat for granted. So we spend every spare hot minute we have at the river with our inner tubes, skimming down rapids and floating lazily along. Then crawling out on hot rocks warming up and then doing it all again... enjoy summer. It is heaven.
August 23rd, 2009 at 7:06 am
My husband and I eat out on the patio every night.
August 23rd, 2009 at 10:43 am
I will enjoy sitting outside and reading for as long as I can.....this is one of my favourite summer things to do.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Summer work is never done. I still have my garden to tend to. Flower bed to prune. Windows to wash.
Fun time is just starting - corn roasts, barbecues, the last trip to the mountains or lake. Love those farmer's markets!
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
With the cool weather we've been having, it's getting hard to remember it IS still summer! We keep going to the river, even if it's too cool to swim.
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
To make summer last as long as possible I'm worrying less about household chores and instead spending as much time as possible outside and with friends.
August 23rd, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I will pray that the summer weather we should have had in July and August will come in September! My poor tomatoes need some good hot sun as they are tired of the pools of water they have lived in all summer (and so am I!).
August 23rd, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Taking a trip to my friend's house in Washington State who have a swimming pool so that my kids can still feel like it's summer.
August 23rd, 2009 at 11:16 pm
head back up to the cottage before it gets too cold to swim!
August 24th, 2009 at 12:17 am
I am trying to do all the outdoorsy stuff the city has to offer, the different beaches, free movies under the stars, pne fair etc.
August 24th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Summer is being able to hang out the clothes to dry. Though it hasn't been a great summer for it this year with all the rain around here, I'll be attempting to keep it up for as long as possible!
August 24th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
In our area, the summer has been cooler and wetter. It is finally feeling like summer and we want to take full advantage of it. My husband & I just got marries this weekend and now week can settle down and enjoy the rest of the summer! We have some bbq's and just enjoy the rest of the good weather:)
August 24th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
go to wonderland, medieval times, water sliding, and camping
August 24th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
I think we will lay in the grass (daily!), pick clover (we have lots - it's all green to me, lol)and just dally with my little ones. Bbq'ing, playing in the dirt, walks to the park. Summer doesn't need to end just because of a calendar date - we'll make it last until it's too cold to pretend anymore!
August 24th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Spend as much time as the weather will allow us to swim in our pool. We also have a festival and a day at Wonderland planned.
August 25th, 2009 at 12:27 am
I plan to enjoy the sun as much as possible --- eat dinner on the patio table, invite friends for a BBQ, bike riding, going out for walks, etc..
Thanks for the great giveaway:)
August 25th, 2009 at 5:38 am
I plan to stay outside as much as possible and enjoy the nice weather while we have it. I will try to take Josie my dog for her daily walks so that we both get our exercise.
August 25th, 2009 at 6:44 am
I will continue to walk daily in the park, enjoy gardening, keep a bouquet in the house, clean all the windows to keep the house brighter, & enjoy all the fresh produce available.
August 25th, 2009 at 10:26 am
I will be starting a new job in September and am looking forward to the change! I have always found the "back to school" season to be a great time for new beginnings, fresh starts and renewal. In the meantime, I am taking a week off to relax and refresh before getting started. I have a facial & pedicure planned, as well as a reading list
August 25th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Lots of BBQs!! Nothing prolongs summer like having friends over and hanging out on the deck in the sun...while it lasts!
August 25th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
We've done something fun and outdoorsy every weekend this summer, culminating with a 10 day road trip to Chicago with us returning home a mere 24 hrs before the first day of school.
August 25th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I like the idea of being a retired teacher. I no longer have to panic at the thought that summer is soon to be over. I can now put in extra time on the golf course!
August 25th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Our family will continue barbecuing at our campsite until it gets too cold.
August 26th, 2009 at 9:33 am
We're making plans for a trip to Prince Edward Country in mid September. Knowing that the beach and having a glass of wine at the local vineyards and probably a nice long hike over the dunes is still ahead of us, makes it easy to keep that summer feeling going.
August 26th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
spend lots of time outdoors with my son,and keep bbqing
August 26th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I have been spending a lot of time outdoors. We went to the CNE one day, and Kew Beach the day before. There are so many great places to visit in Toronto...but I also enjoy just sitting in my backyard and watching the squirrels and birds.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
spend time outdoors, visit markets, keep checking my garden and freeze and dehydrate produce.
August 27th, 2009 at 11:16 am
To make summer last even longer, I will be taking my little brother to the beach and playground. Also my family will be spending time together, in the pool, drinking iced tea, going to the zoo and for bike rides. It will create many memories to enjoy through the winter months.
August 27th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I love trying new cleaning products.I's been a busy summer and I always do my major cleaning in the fall,thats when things slow down for me
August 27th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
It's the first time in 18 years that I am not going back to school!!!! Rah!!! I just plan to gloat and atre at my diploma while plotting my first real vacation in September... It's summer all year round for me now!
August 28th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
To make summer last I will be harvesting my garden food and getting it ready for the fall.
The food, including peas, beans, and onion (to name a few) will be stored for enjoyment throughout the winter months.
Also I will be cleaning my windows so the sun will look clean and clear when inside.
August 28th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
I am taking every Friday off to tool about. Today I went gopher hunting. Tomorrow will be fishing, maybe even camping if I can persude my wife to come along. Got to make hay while the sun shines!!
August 29th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
I'm going to start pounding the pavement for a new job, so I hope the weather holds, as it'll add a spring to my step. A change of season - a change of pace.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:54 am
Spend time in the sun.
August 30th, 2009 at 3:38 am
My daughter was the one that realized that summer was slipping by and started asking me to do things with her. We are surrounded by beautiful nature (Niagara Falls) so are walking together and then enjoying an ice cream / coffee out.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I am going to lay in the sun and soak up some not so power rays. Makes up for missing a summer vacation to get married...
August 31st, 2009 at 6:49 am
I will be going for as many walks as possible and doing a lot of care for my flowers!!!
August 31st, 2009 at 8:45 pm
I like to get out and walk. While the weather is nice, I can get further than normal. The flowers outside last longer and are a joy to behold.
September 2nd, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Take pictures.
September 2nd, 2009 at 6:09 pm
I'm going to go mountain biking with my friends outside in the sunny weather.
