NPR recently had an article about how to design your dream summer which included access to a printable worksheet by Gretchen Rubin (4 ways to design a dreamy summer). I filled it out to get my summer bucket list ideas down.
I liked the "five-senses portrait" of summer exercise and went with my instant first thoughts for each blank. I can some are from childhood (lilacs scented air) while others are lifelong or triggered by what I see and here now.

Then I filled out the "My summer bucket list" of activities I want to do or have been meaning to cross off my list. Again I brainstormed and didn't look at my To Do Lists. I wrote them down as they popped into my mind so it is a hodgepodge list with a mix of fun ideas plus To Do items that are obviously weighing on my mind. Aspirational for sure but many are readily doable.
* Photograph of draw flowers & butterflies
* Buy watermelons and cantaloupes
* Watch Enola Holmes 3
* Go to MOMA in San Francisco
* Jazz night at bookstore in Berkeley
* Find a trust lawyer and get started
* Walk to the city's World One 4th of July Festival (jazz after lunch)
* Shop for card table sized table & chairs for upstairs
* Shop for a shade for upstairs bath window
* July 31 days of stretching
* Draw first 6 dog pictures from calendar
* Get better at jumping (bone density & strength exercise)
* Go to Sonoma Botanical Garden for mosaic art exhibit plus lunch in Sonoma
* Go to the Ashby Village orientation (aging well resource & community)
* Ask about book clubs at bookstore
What's on your list for summer?
