25 things to do this summer

Summer is an amazing time that many are so looking forward to and which for many passes without a trace and irrevocably. We have three summer months ahead of us, which we can and should live happily and fruitfully. Gather, like strawberries on a blade of grass, moments of joy and sunny memories of summer.

Pedal, turn your face to the oncoming warm wind, laugh for no reason and feel the delight of harmony with the world.

A favorite blanket, comfortable pillows under your back, real, not plastic dishes, beautiful napkins and a whole basket of delicious homemade food. Your family and friends will remember this day for a long time.

Do you remember how, as a child, you and your girlfriends went to the field, picked flowers, and then, talking quietly or singing something, we wove wreaths? This summer, you definitely need to repeat. Don't forget to take a picture later in all this beauty!

In the shade of an orchard, gently swaying, lazily waving away the annoying buzzing. Leaf through your favorite novel, think about your own and take a nap for a while.

Mixed with bagels, fresh jam and buckwheat honey. You can drink from a cup, but it's better from a bowl or even a saucer.

How good it is: after breakfast, go to the nearest copse from the cottage, wander along the sunny edge, inhale the incomparable smell of earth, grass and needles, collect a basket of mushrooms, and when you return, quickly clean them and cook a fragrant soup.

Plants for the herbarium (leaves, flowers, twigs) are best collected in sunny dry weather so that they are absolutely dry — without dew and traces of water.

At the dacha, each of us has business and worries from the very morning. But if you wake up early, when the sun is just starting to warm up, and walk barefoot on the slightly damp, still cool grass, it will fill you with energy and joy for the whole day.

First, carefully — berry to berry — we string it on a blade of grass, and then at once we eat the whole "string of beads". A magical taste!

While it's summer, use natural products grown in your garden beds as cosmetics. Mash a few ripe strawberries of medium size into a puree and apply a mask on your face. Moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

It would seem that catch and beat the shuttlecock, but there is something exciting and joyful in this outdoor game. Definitely there is!

It is better, of course, not on a one-day, but with an overnight stay: pitch a tent, light a fire in the evening, look at the stars, sing songs to the guitar, and in the morning wash with ice water from the stream and drink hot tea from a camping mug.

Do everything according to the rules: firewood — fire — coals — potatoes. Weary expectation and anticipation. And here she is, hot, you throw from palm to palm, you get your fingers, cheeks and nose dirty in the ashes, you hurry, you get burned, but you can't do anything, you can't wait anymore. A piece of butter, a pinch of salt — mmm, how delicious!

Sometimes, you go somewhere out of town by car, fields, forests, villages float by the window. And suddenly they are wheat-yellow haystacks. Stop it! Feel how elastic and slightly prickly they are.

You can make yourself a simple snake from improvised means, or you can buy a colorful and large one in the store. In any case, the delight and good mood of the whole family are provided.

To be a little scared at first, and then laugh with relief. And to see the city from a bird's-eye view and wonder how some districts and neighborhoods have changed.

Since it is possible to observe this phenomenon only in summer, then it is necessary to plan a trip strictly from June to mid-July.

At least once during the summer, meet the sunrise — wake up with an alarm clock (at about 4-5 o'clock in the morning). You won't regret it!

Let it be low, like a swing. But the feeling of flying itself, believe me, will be powerful and unforgettable!

It is possible in the morning when the water is warmer than the air and a light fog is floating. Or during the day, when the sun is mercilessly hot and the body asks for saving coolness. Or in the evening — the water will take away all the fatigue.

On the one hand, fishing is a calming activity, on the other — as soon as it starts to bite, it is very gambling. And it's great to cook fish soup from a freshly caught fish! But the main thing is that a common hobby makes a marriage stronger.

It's always fun and memorable. If a camera is at hand, take a group photo of "We: wet and happy".

If you are planning a family vacation by the water, plan the "construction". Yes, you'll have to tinker, but the result is worth it, right?!

Berry or fruit, five minutes or jam — it's up to you. And be sure to eat the impossibly tender and delicious jam foam!

Rent a boat, wander through the alleys, be sure to stop at an old-fashioned dance floor and watch couples waltz, or maybe decide to dance yourself.
