Monthly Musings - July 2025 - HOW WE SUMMER

July 31, 2025

 

Hello friends.


  I hope you are enjoying summer as much as I am.  I can't believe we are at the end of July!    



I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings link-up.  This month we are discussing - July 2025 How we Summer!




HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:



1.  My favorite thing about this summer was our recent trip to Italy and England.  You can read about some of my European vacation HERE.


2.  We recently went to our favorite local pub for a steak dinner for two.  It came with bread and a salad, and it was so good!  My husband loved that he didn't have to slave over the hot grill outside.


3.  We haven't seen any summer movies yet, but we want to see Superman.

What we've been streaming:
  • Too Much
  • Squid Game
  • Dope Thief
  • The Studio  

4.  The book I enjoyed reading this summer so far is The Wedding People by Alison Espach.


 
5.  I think I want to hold onto summer as it's one of my favorite seasons.  I love going for long walks with Lucy and going to the beach.  I also love eating summer fruits such as watermelon, peaches, and cherries. 


  
6.  There really is nothing different about my summer schedule from the rest of the year.    

7.  One of the ways I like to take a break/relax in the summer is to be outside reading a book with an iced tea.  I also enjoy gardening. 


Below I have peppers, basil, parsley, and cucumbers growing in a large pot.




8.  We like to take day trips to different places, such as visiting a museum in the city.  A few years ago we visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and you can read that blog post HERE.  We may also visit the Jersey Shore. 



9.  I have no concerts planned this summer.

10.  Summer usually ends for me at the end of August.  We still have beautiful weather in September, which I love.  The weather is a lot cooler and not as hot as the summer months.

  3. Oh yes you can't be a delicious iced tea and a good book! Well, that trip to Italy and England would but I mostly was referring to small comforts of home in summer.

  4. I don't blame you one bit for loving your trip to Italy and England- will probably be your fave for a long time- Rome still seems like a dream to me- will always be my favorite- hope to go back one day!

  6. Your garden is looking so good Julie! I loved reading about your European trip this summer. I hope you get to the shore too. Lucy must love those long walks too. Do you still have the kitty friends out back? I need to get some cherries. I haven't had any yet! I liked that book too. We just saw Fantastic Four and liked it. I haven't seen any of those shows except the Studio which I didn't finish. I should get back to it.I do want to see Too Much. I hope you're having a great week!
