Drop a lemon rind in your garbage pail after you dump the trash. Run the rest of the lemon through the garbage disposer, and your sink will be as fresh as a summer's afternoon. Smells sweet enough to eat!

If you're visiting a summer festival, consider leaving your pets at home. They are often not welcome in high-density locations, and it's illegal in many places to leave them in the car on a summer day. They'll be happier at home under the AC with a bowl of water to enjoy.
Newly planted trees need plenty of water, and not just when you plant them. It can take two years for your tree (depending on the species) to become self sufficient without additional water. Keep the soil moist to a depth that includes all the roots and cover with wood-chip mulch to keep the soil from drying too quickly. Then, open up your garden chair and enjoy!
Summer is a popular time for weddings. Include your dog! If they can't be in the ceremony, get them in the pictures! In years to come, the snaps of the family pet will bring back fond memories of the day! Smile! Woof, woof!
Check for any leaf or grass debris around your outside AC unit. If you see any dirty buildup clogging the coils (especially at the bottom), give it a swift squirt with a jet of water. The US Dept of Energy says you can improve your efficiency by 25 percent with a well-maintained system. Happy summer!
