Celebrations

This is my 300th post and the first full day of summer - something to celebrate! I hope your summer contains lots of things to celebrate - the first firefly of the season, a new daylily in bloom, a lizard skittering across your deck, a hummingbird feasting on trumpet creeper, 4th of July fireworks....

Summer is also a time to celebrate relationships. Warm weather brings different opportunities for spending time together, whether it's an evening walk, a morning on the golf course, or a much-needed vacation. Do you remember the summers when you were dating? You may have packed a picnic and a cooler and just headed down the road with no particular destination in mind. You might have spread a blanket in the back yard on a warm night and gazed at the stars. You might have even taken a hike in a secluded woods and found a grassy place to make love.

Recreating some of those summer pleasures from your early days as a couple has a lot of power to jump-start your sex drive and increase your connection to your partner. Not to mention that it's a lot more fun than attacking your yard with the weed-eater.
