Mermaids, Music & Barefeet

Just bought my 2012 Folk Festival ticket on Monday.


It's got me all excited and even more ready for summer.


First come a few fun springish traditions like May Long Weekend at the cabin or our annual kids service and picnic with our church.


But then: it's July. 


Canada Day; I love how the festive feeling around our city always feels like a exciting kick off to summer.


Canoe trip plans or, this year, just regular camping plans.


And a week into the blissful summer month comes the packing of the cooler with tasty treats, the repair of the mermaid tarp marker, the dusting off of wide brim shade hats meant for protection out in long days of sun and the expectation of many hours of good music.


Of course this year, there'll be some differences...a little more time spent in the children's tent. A little more time spent at the sand pile. A little less falling asleep whenever, where ever you feel like. 


But however it goes, it will be good. 
Well, as long as it's not plus 5 and raining.
