One summer activity I particularly enjoy is swimming. I hope to get some swim time this year as I tend to get busy and before I know it summer is over.

I love swimming in natural, cold water.

The Innocent Weed in Your Yard That Could Give you Horrifying Blisters
You'll want to wear long sleeves and pants anytime you're working around this weed in your yard. Funny thing is, it doesn't really look that harmful. I didn't think anything of it when the little, yellow flowers sprouted from the ground along our front sidewalk. It looked like yet another weed that would eventually get pulled once life with two young kids slowed down. (Narrator's Voice: But life, in fact, would never slow down.)

Viral Photo of Rat at Albany New York Walmart Is an Internet Hoax
You have probably seen the viral photo of a rat at Walmart, but is it actually what it seems to be?. The last thing you want to see at a grocery store are visible rodents.

HGTV Names Quaint Upstate New York Town Most Charming In US
A quaint New York town beloved by "celebrities and presidents" has been named the most charming small town in the state of New York by HGTV. When it comes to small towns that are known as 'quaint' or 'charming,' New York has a whole lot of 'em.
