As always, you do not have to participate, the choice is yours.
The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple, short list! Here’s how it works: Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.

This week’s list: Give me 5 things to do during your favorite season of the year.
Summer is my absolute favorite season, and these are just some of the things I like to do:
1.) Go to the beach. I actually don’t spend a lot of time in the water. I prefer to lay/sit on the beach, with my eyes closed and just listen to the ocean. Actually, I like going anytime of the year since I only live about 10 minutes away! It’s great in the winter because there aren’t many people there. The photo below was taken about a year ago.
3.) Play in my gardens. Wow, that sounds pretty romantic, doesn’t it? Like I have a huge garden on the grounds? In reality, I have several small gardens/beds where I love to plant flowers. And watch the butterflies.
4.) Get outside and take photos! When the weather is non-frigid, it’s fun to go places and see things and then try to capture those memories. (It’s probably nice at other times of the year too, but I’m a wimp and just don’t like the cold!)
First, I have been honored by Kim from Jogging in Circles, with the You Make My Day Award! Kim is a first-class blogger (go see for yourself!), so to receive an award from her really makes my day! Thank you, so much, Kim!
It’s difficult to choose from all the great blogs I enjoy, but here you go:
My choice for this week is “My Dog Madison”, originally posted on 12/9/07. The reason I’m choosing this particular post is a hint at the exciting new project I’m working on–plus the fact that she’s so damn cute! Hope you enjoy!
Madison, aka “Maddie”, is 5 1/2 years old, and the sweetest, most gentle creature I’ve ever known. I once saw a sign that read, “Dogs are people with fur.” That describes Maddie as though the phrase were inspired by her!
Our love seat has become her “Princess Couch,” and she enjoys lounging and napping there quite frequently! (Although, as I write this, she is sound asleep and snoring on the bed right behind me!)
Madison is not into playing ball or chewing on squeaky toys. What Maddie enjoys most is being near her family– showing us how much she loves us with the “whomp, whomp, whomp” of her ‘tail of destruction’ (you’d appreciate this affectionate nickname if you ever witnessed it clear a table or felt it make contact with your leg!) , or gracing us with her sweet puppy smile.
I’m borrowing this idea from Jill at Caffeine Court–how I love that name–and her blog, so please be sure to stop by and say hello! What a great way to get to know a little more about each other!
