Hi! Trixie here! I know last time Tessie told you all about how Spring is on its way, but somehow, once Spring starts to spring, I find the warmer weather so exciting that I just can’t help but look forward to Summer!
Going through our wardrobe, I found this lovely Summer dress in a bright floral pattern, so I put it on and headed outside. It would be great if we had a pair of sandals for a dress like this, but until Miss Chrissy can find sandals in our size (NB), I decided this dress would look just fine with our shoes. So, with my little feet tight and comfortable in shoes and socks, I took a romp outdoors, and soon found myself near the BBQ grill, which brought back so many pleasant memories of Summertime that I asked Miss Chrissy to take my picture here.
As you may know, we Whimsies do not eat, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a good BBQ! We love the smells of food, all kinds of foods. Our noses are turned up for a reason! Not because we’re “snooty,” because we’re not snooty at all! Whimsies are just abut the most un-snooty creatures on the planet. But we do love to smell wonderful smells, and among my favorite smells of all times are the Summertime foods that are cooked outside on the grill.
When we lived in The Hoard, sometimes, in the Summer, the Hoarder would go outside to cook food on a BBQ grill. I don’t think it was because she was such a great cook, or really enjoyed Summertime that much, but simply because it was easy. You see, the stove in the house was piled so high with all kinds of junk that rather than move the junk and clean up the house, weather permitting, she just decided to go outside to cook. And whenever she would go outside to cook on the BBQ grill, 
I loved to sneak out and just sniff and sniff all those wonderful smells of hot dogs and hamburgers, grilled onions and peppers, and especially toasted marshmallows!
Personally, I think there should be a perfume called “Toasted Marshmallows.” Is there anything that smells better?
Miss Chrissy and The Man have this BBQ grill, and will use it in the Summer, when the weather is warm all the time. And when they do, I’ll be there…sniffing away! But for now, I just wanted to give that grill a quick inspection and make sure it’s ready for Summertime.
And guess what? It is! And so am I!
