"I look back upon a day spent in what the world would call idleness, and for which I myself can suggest no more appropriate epithet, but which nevertheless I cannot feel to have been spent amiss. True, it might be a sin and a shame in a world such as ours to spend a lifetime in this manner; but for a few summer weeks it is good to live as if this world were heaven."
-- Nathaniel Hawthorne
As of yesterday my kids are out of school, and -- beyond baking a cherry pie, making a killer gazpacho, and feeling the mist of Niagara Falls, I have yet to itemize a list of things I want to do this summer. I think I'll have to adopt Hawthorne's philosophy.
Here's a fun project visualizing summer goals on tumblr.
How about you? Any little things you'd like for the season?
