Perfect summer, yes! Yours that I especially agree with: road trips, summer birthdays (yay), the smell after rain, thunderstorms (like last night), eating outside at a restaurant, ripe melon, county fairs, baseball on the radio. All so yummy.
I will not agree so much with happiness over hair curling in the humidity though (as long as it's mine). Last night we had to stand up the beautiful corn that fell over in a rainstorm, and string it up. I guess the soil is too loamy. (No ears yet.) My hairdo became a freak show. :)
I love your list and the photos, especially the chicken. I need to find an outdoor flea market and a good mystery book. Someone else can mow my lawn though.
what a glorious list!!!
love these. and it makes me smile.
summer birthdays, aren't they the BEST????
your list is glorious.
see you during the next thunderstorm ;)
one love
I love this post! Summer is filled with so many wonderful experiences.
I seem to have a problem with humdiity this summer, however, so I am hoping that part does not last much loger! :)
Am waiting for a good thunderstorm to blast the air clear again. (smell after rain, so lovely)
Wonderful list! Happy summer!
oh, bless her heart~ her ruffles in the pool!
this is wonderful!
i send you a loving hug!
xo
please, please will that thunderstorm come by and clear this heavy air (and my heavy achey head).
a soft summer breeze... yes, that would be my number one.
Summer birthdays are the best! I had blueberries on my cereal this morning and I have a green striped mug. This post rang very true for me.
Christina and Se"lah have done a wonderful job of bringing us all together.
Love your list, O! Gotta love those county fairs and the ruffled butts in the pool! The pics are delicious, as always.
DELICIOUS... that's what this post is...m... :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
Oh my gosh, where do I start?! I love your list and your photos! The wildflowers (and their wonderful names), the thunderstorms, breakfast on the porch! All simple and perfect!
very happy summery list ...the curls got me...and the polka dots!!
I love the happy picture your lists paints of your summer. My favorites are the smell of honeysuckle and hair that curls in the humidity. That's my daughter for sure.
