I live in the northeast, and some years, it feels like summer takes forever to arrive. This year is one of those years. Even though the calendar says that it’s spring, temperatures are well below freezing in the mornings this week.

It’s our second winter, I suppose. We have already had a couple of days that hit 80 degrees. So, why not dig into some summer coloring pages to be mindful and daydream about warmer days to come?

So here we are, bundled up in layers and maybe even grabbing that winter coat we thought weโ€™d put away for good. And while the mornings start with a frosty bite, by afternoon, weโ€™re shedding layers as if itโ€™s a guessing game with Mother Nature. But you know what? Thatโ€™s just part of the charm of the Northeast. It keeps us on our toes, always giving us a little taste of summer and then pulling it back just enough to keep us wanting more.

I guess daydreaming about something that is going to happen, rather than living in the moment of what is happening, is the opposite of mindful.

Nevertheless, it calms me on these dark, damp, cold, and rainy March days.

I think these are so cute, and I love that not all of them are beachy. Yes, we go to the beach in the summer. But it’s not the only thing we do.

I love the giraffe one. I will definitely be using that one with Kevin to work on language skills and multi-sensory learning.

Last year, I took Kevin to the Plumpton Park Zoo in Maryland, and we got to feed a giraffe. He loved it. It’s so close to us, we’ll probably go back this year because it’s a fun summer activity for us.
