since it's turned hot today...
Ants (uninvited guests at your picnic)
Bees
If there are any still around this year.
Caterpillars.
I had a brown one in my garden two days ago. It has now either pupated or been eaten.
Daylight savings time
[or maybe Deviled eggs to go with Merry's picnic 
]
well Eggs is a good one, hardboiled and mashed with Hellman's and a splash of salad cream to go with salad.
PS am starting my diet today so it's salads all the way for me. My Wii Fit tells me I should lose 9lb 
[Heh, me too. I put on 10 pounds after knee surgery, and it's the very devil to lose now. However, summer is the best time to lose weight, since your physiology is more willing to give up the insulation of adipose when the weather is warm. Also, the availability of yummy fresh fruits and veggies with high fiber and low calories makes the diet quiet pleasant.]
Now for the letter F:
fragrant flowers [honeysuckle and wild rose in abundance here, and the peach blossoms, mmm]
Asy, I totally agree with you in theory - it's easy to diet in summer time! All day I've walked, trampolined, done my Wii-fit regime, eaten fruit and salads. My halo was shining.
So tell me why at 10pm I suddenly succumbed to the wiles of a bar of cream chocolate that had been winking at me come-hitherishly all day ... 
Grapes (what I should have had instead of the chocolate)
H... Hamper [a nice wicker one for our picnic goodies]
Now, now, don't berate yourself. Must keep a positive outlook, here. You did very well overall, good job. Women [of all ages] crave chocolate, which is attributable in part to hormonal cycles, both monthly and diurnal. I keep a package of chocolate morsels, so that I can have a few without too many calories. If your resistance isn't high enough for that, place the choccies in care of a family member with strict instructions for rationing. Or get chocolate flavored hard candies that are more resistible, so you can feed the need.
Another trick I've learned is: don't weigh yourself. Muscle weighs more than adipose. If you're exercising more, adding muscle bulk and losing fat, you actually can weigh more than you did before. Stepping on the scales can be quite discouraging, especially at the beginning of a new regimen.
Instead, find an older pair of jeans you used to fit into. Don't set yourself an impossible goal, but when you think perhaps you are looking slightly more fit, try them on again. This worked for me; I found the ability to get into the old denims was just a bit easier, and then a few days later, the weight loss registered on the scales. I don't do this very often, since I want to keep motivated.
Also, I refuse to buy new clothes, because I intend to fit into the old ones by the end of the summer. So there, ha!
I second the clothes idea: I do know the bad news before the scales say a word And I once made a bad mistake - I had a pair of pink Versace jeans (bought from a charity shop) and I loved them more than my children. But after being too large for them for some years I threw them out. (Please pause for a moment of respect for my grief.) And then I lost the weight. Typical.
We will both fit into our shorts by the end of the summer, so long as we don;t have too much...
icecream
I adore ice cream, but cant eat more than a tablespoon or so, because I'm hugely lactose intolerant. This is possibly attributable to a bit of American Indian in my extremely mixed herritage. [up to 90 % of Amerinds are lactose intolerant.] That works out okay, though, because my daughter also can't eat much ice cream, so we usually share a single scoop cone.
But J is for jam- making,
[an excellent summertime occupation, which follows after our getting sunburnt, picking berries.]
