Top Ten: Summer Puzzles 2017

Here we are in mid-July, the height of summer season. Is it too hot where you live? Too rainy? Too dry? Here in Pennsylvania, it’s been mid to high 80s with the humidity varying from unbearable to not bad. I love to be outdoors and bike in the summer months. But the evenings are long and a good time to relax with a puzzle, with or without the TV on.

This week’s post gathers together the best of the summer-themed puzzles currently available at Puzzle Warehouse. Let’s revel in the sunshine while we can!

Here are my picks for the best summer puzzles available at Puzzle Warehouse.
