Is Monday a day off for you? Will you do anything special for Memorial Day? As a homemaker, I work everyday, but I take it slower and easier on Sundays. I especially work on holidays. :) But doing things for friends and family is a labor of love.
As we've had a long string of cold wet weather, I will use this weekend as an opportunity to work in the garden. I still have some veggies, flowers and herbs to plant. So lots of garden work for me.
But there is something special that we'll do on Monday. Since this weekend is the unofficial beginning of summer, we usually go to the beach briefly on Memorial Day morning. We bring a breakfast, dress warmly, and walk along the water's edge. By the time we leave, families are beginning to arrive. It works out great. We have the beach mostly to ourselves, parking is a breeze, and we spend some time outdoors.
Later in the day, late afternoon, I'll get a fire in the fire ring going and we'll have a hot dog cookout -- hot dogs, potato salad, green salad, and a rhubarb gelatin salad. And that's about it for our Memorial Day.
How about you? What do you have planned for this weekend? Is this too early in your area to go to the beach? Or does summer unofficially begin in your area, too?
Wishing you a wonderful weekend. I'll be back on Monday afternoon.
What a nice Memorial Day tradition. We are going to have a small cookout here on Monday. So far the menu is hamburgers and grilled zucchini. But before that, we have a family graduation party on Saturday that I'm making cookies and brownies for. Memorial Day usually signals the start of summer with pool and beach activities in my area, but the temps are in he 50s for the weekend, so I don't know how much water activity will be going on.
