Summer brings longer days, fireflies, swim trunks, and bathing suits. The thermostat is rising so please take precautions to protect you and your loved ones from heat exhaustion. See our link for tips http://patriciahomecare.com/happy-4th-of-july/. During the summer we see butterflies, honeybees, and nature’s most beautiful vegetation. Patricia Home Care wants you to protect yourself from mosquitoes with insect repellent, and if you have allergies watch your local weather allergy report. Some of us will try to beat the heat by diving into the nearest swimming pool. Know the safety rules of the water as this is where a lot of injuries occur. Take advantage of the season and make memories that last!
