Being in your own back yard is paradise. An arch adds a romantic touch and more so if you can train climbing plants to grow over it. If you don't have these luxuries, not a problem. Articles from magazines can provide lots of motivation for you to begin a summer journal.
 
This 100-page Summer Journal is a great place to put all your ideas in writing. The pages are lightly lined on one side and blank on the other. Jot, sketch, scribble, design until your heart's content and revel in the season.
