Simple Pleasures…

IMG_6261-1

Simple summer things I’m loving…

  • black-eyed susans
  • a sunny day!
  • the smell of warm strawberries
  • goldfish pretzels
  • New Yorker magazines
  • Campari and soda
  • Grandchildren hugs
  • Watching the Red Sox win or lose
  • Sitting in the dark with the smell of honeysuckle and watching fireflies
  • Adam Lambert on American Idol
  • Switching from a charcoal grill to a gas grill
  • Adirondack chairs..old or new
  • watermelon and feta and mint together
  • farmer’s markets and flea markets
  • the solid feel of my little camera
  • sailing with Mr O on Little Narragansett Bay

Thanks to Christina of SoulAperture for hosting a Simple Things day which started me thinking about this list…I’m sure it will get longer…

it's these simple things that ultimately mean the most, isn't it?

Wish I had time for the New Yorkers piling up.

Love Adirondacks - we've built some and are about to build 4 more.

Watermelon, feta and mint!! I need to try that.

Very nice list.

beautiful loves...they made me smile, well except for the baseball - I only like to watch live games for some reason

Listening to crickets sing at night...that's what's saying summer to me.

Lovely list, Oliag. Campari and soda, hmmm, I've never had that. It always sounds so sophisticated. I like those grandchildren hugs pretty well myself!
