For me, summertime means mornings that are not dictated by alarm clocks, but instead by the sounds birds chirping, sprinklers turning on, and lawn mowers humming. Hot afternoons with far less hectic schedules are an invitation to lounge in the backyard under the shade of trees reading a book. Evenings give way to cooler air, dinner on the grill, sipping a favorite cocktail, the glow of lanterns and fireflies and perhaps a visit with friends or neighbors.
And, then the best time of all....summer vacation! The beach is my absolute favorite destination. The sound of waves crashing, the smell of salty sea air, sand between my toes and a breeze coming off the ocean is all that I ever need to truly relax!
Hello Summer...I've missed you!!!
Nice pictures on this post. I love the warm months as well. This year I decided not to put the kids in camp since it starts at 9am. They stay up late and run around the yard with flashlights chasing lightning bugs then sleep in and play in their pj's until 11:00. Easy living if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely captured the essence of summer with these photos! I want that brickscaped patio. :) I love the relaxed morning schedule of summertime too.
ReplyDeleteI feel the EXACT same way! And then it all goes racing by, which is truly my only "problem" with summer! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your description which is why Summer is so darn perfect!!

Fabulous description of this most wonderful time of the year!! You have captured it perfectly, in words and images. I am determined to jump in the sprinkler this summer, to drink margaritas as often as possible, to blow bubbles on the deck {yes, even my big kids like doing this!} and to just take it ALL in....and savor it. Wonderful post! xx Suzanne
ReplyDeleteYou just pulled me right into your post....ahhhh summmer!
ReplyDeleteI know this summer with your family will be a special one. Enjoy every minute! Don't you wish it would last until Christmas?!?
ReplyDeleteI just love this. I've been way too busy this summer. This makes me want to slow down. Life is way too short to miss all this. thanks for reminding me. Mona
ReplyDelete::sigh:: Reminds me of summers pre-law school, when I actually got to enjoy them! Now? I feel like summer is a haze of baby showers, weddings, bachelorette parties, babies' birthdays....just too many obligations?
ReplyDelete(Okay I'll admit I sound like the Summertime Grinch...maybe it's just been a crazy day!)
As a 1st day of summer baby, I have a HUGE thing for all things summer. Fireflies, later sunsets, toes in the sand....and 3 things in your post. Mojitos (or margaritas), popsicles and hammocks. May summer last as long as possible!!! xo
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your summer! So thrilled to be done with alarm clocks and staying in Sweden for a few weeks. Like the relaxing pace here...at least for a while!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous images! Every one of them, but the watermelon looks so real I need a fork. xx's

Sounds absolutely utterly divine. I miss summers in the west coast when the evenings would be cool & you could lounge on the lawn. The waters of the Pacific ocean, all of it. You made miss home or I need to reconsider & move to Virginia! Enjoy each & every second xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog you have, I just found it. Love this post, it captures everything I love about summer! ~Debby xo

In the South, school gets out in May, so it seems like summer has already been going on for at least a month before it is 'officially' summer!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of summer is going to the beach too...I am definitely a beach person, not a mountain person.
Great images, the fruit and berries just had me drooling. Love the sprinklers it brings back great childhood memories. Summers are pretty wonderful aren't they, Kathysue
