Host a backyard barbecue
The smell of meat grilling, the sight of a bright tablecloth, the sound of chill music – does anything scream “first day of summer” more than a backyard barbecue? Delight your friends and families by hosting the first party of the summer.
Make a fresh summer salad
Nothing showcases the early bounty of your summer garden (or the summer farmer’s market) like a salad filled with fresh, seasonal greens, veggies and fruit. The great thing is that salads are practically foolproof – any combination of veggies with a tasty dressing is great.
Set up lawn games
Croquet. Cornhole. Life-size Jenga. Hopscotch. Lawn darts. OK, so the lawn darts might be a tiny bit dangerous but setting up some fun lawn games in your front yard is the perfect low-key way to celebrate the summer season. No one can resist throwing a beanbag into a hole!
