Hi Carolyn,
I like the ideas for keeping drinks cool. I put frozen cola tip tops in my drinks! My summer bucket list has already started. I photographed narrow-boats on Sunday and I think next week it will be an activity day at the Manor House again, then in 2 weeks there will be lots happening. Black Country Day and festival, Party in the Park and our carnival. I’m hoping to have photographs published in the regional newspaper of the carnival. I bought a speedlite and diffuser and a 300mm telephoto lens ready for that. I even have some props and light garden chairs are on order!
Hi Mike, Yes, it’s amazing how many suggestions Pinterest has for cooling drinks! Hey, if you’re going to cool drinks, why not make it fun?
Hey Carolyn,
Those are some cool ideas indeed. I like the watermelon idea, Mom and I just finished eating one. We’re ready for another one now.
I like the ice cube ideas too and of course the summer getaways are always something to want to do.
Pinterest definitely has some fun things for sure. You’re always finding the best for us too so thank you.
Have a great week.

Hi Adrienne, Great point. One of the great aspects of Pinterest is that there really is something for everyone. You can enjoy simple tips, such as using water balloons in ice bucket, or exotic ones, such as planning an adventurous vacation.
I’m glad you found some pins you liked here, Adrienne! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us.
Wow. This is really amazing how a single thing help me to arrange the party right from the party theme to the summer recipes and list of fun activites. Pinterest is great. Thanks for sharing the post.
Hi Shalini, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! Yes, you really can plan an entire summer party through Pinterest. Guided Search can give you plenty of both inspiration and information for summer fun!
I have actually learnt one trick about pinning is pinning thing which matters to people at a particular season. If its is summer pin summer clothes. When a certain design is trending move with it and such. Finally you will make it through especially if it goes viral though it is a rare case.
Hi Fredy, Yes, you make a lot of sense with posting seasonal pins but I have a Halloween costume pin that is still getting a lot of repins. The pin is a Humpty Dumpty costume for pregnant women and the repinning of that pin hasn’t slowed down since Halloween. Go figure. 😕
Happy Summer and Fourth, Carolyn. Long time no see. How are you?
I love these ideas. You’re absolutely right! Pinterest is chock-full of great ideas for the summer. Enough to keep us a little cooler and busier during these hot months. I especially love the watermelon tap idea. I’m surprised it’s the first I’ve heard of it. Love watermelon already, so will have to give this a try. Also like the idea of using frozen water balloon for ice. Hadn’t thought of that either.
Great tips, as usual.
Thanks for sharing!!
