Romantic Ideas for Summer
By: L.A. Hunter
1. Create a moonlit picnic complete with picnic basket and blanket.
2. Pick a spot in your yard and plant her/your favorite flowers. When they bloom you’ll have fresh cut flowers to enjoy or give.
3. Send your love and invitation for a midnight rendezvous. Meet on a hot summer night with a bottle of wine and a blanket.
4. Mow a heart shape into the grass.
5. Use sidewalk chalk to express your love.
6. Install a hammock or two seat swing to relax together on warm summer days.
7. Build a romantic outdoor sitting area as a surprise or together.
8. Plan a romantic getaway together; half the fun is talking about it.
9. Play summer games together such as horse shoes and croquet.

lights for a romantic look at night.
