And, there’s no better way to kick-off the Summer than by adding an extra day to an already long holiday weekend. No matter what your plans, start by honoring those who have sacrificed their lives for our country.

First things first. Check the condition of your flag before displaying it. If it needs replacing, replace it. If you don’t have one, get one.

Next, drag out the outdoor furniture and give it a hosing. This reproduction Westport Adirondack Chair by Loll is a stunning example of recycled material use while being the perfect spot to soak in some Summer and a long, tall cool one. photo: Loll

A quick manicure and survey of the landscape is in order with perhaps an addition or two, or a transplant of material now or later in the season.

This is a no-brainer. You’re going to have to eat, so simple burgers  with a bit of Jack Daniels Maple Syrup Ketchup, sweet corn, my simple New Potato Salad with Soft Herbs and cold watermelon are a classic combination that is always appropriate. Be safe and enjoy your weekend.
