Don't you just love that warm, cozy feeling you get after a great summer day? The one you get from a day's worth of sun doing absolutely nothing? Where you are awake, but just too relax to stress about chores, bills, work, whatever?
As I sit here after a day playing with my niece and the little darlin', with the glow of too much sun radiating heat all around me, it makes me thing what would make a day more perfect (I mean, other than having work? [grin])? With this in mind:
Recipe for a Perfect Canadian Summer Day
- 4 parts lounging
- 3 parts swimming (this should, at least in part, be combined with the first part for maximum relaxation)
- 2 parts good food
- 1 part sun
- 1 part shade (preferably by a large, old tree by the water)
Combine above ingredients and allow to sit for at least 5-8hrs. Add 1 part boating only if above seems a little dry. Next, add 1 trip to a hometown ice cream bars (not Dairy Queen - one of those small town ice cream stands with picnic tables out front). Simmer next to an evening bonfire, and mix in 1 part marshmallows. Pour into comfy bed.
