How do I know it's summer?

I have been blessed with an extremely talented husband. Dan established COOK UNDERGROUND, INC. (landscaping and irrigation business) over 12 years ago, and he has SUCCESSFULLY maintained it over the years. Because he spends his WINTERS doing laundry, making dinner, and reading at Barnes & Noble, here is how I KNOW IT’S SUMMER: (every year, it takes a little getting used to!)

• Every week, by Friday, there is a LARGE pile of laundry in the laundry room. ALL of the laundry smells like DIRT and GRASS.
• The Cook Fam eats at TACO BELL more than they should.
• Even though the bathtub was just cleaned, (by a cleaning lady), there is a dirt ring around the tub, from all of the dirt that washes off of my husband’s body every day.
• As I walk in the bathroom, I see Dan’s socks in the garbage instead of the laundry hamper, due to the fact that SHREDDED HARDWOOD BARK does not “wash out” of socks.
• I attend most family functions with 3 kids, ALONE, as he is unable to show up, because he has to “Make Hay While The Sun Shines”.
• The Harley becomes something REALLY PRETTY to LOOK AT instead of something REALLY COOL to RIDE, as together time is hard to come by.
• When I hold his hand in church, he has dirty fingernails and calluses, that won’t come clean until November.
• The pile of bills on the desk becomes smaller.

Thank you Lord for SUNSHINE!
