"It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside."-Maud Hart Lovelace
I've taken a little break from blogging, and it has felt wonderful. I've been enjoying my summer with my children and my husband. These days we are busy with projects, and just really having some summer fun! We recently took on a tie-dye project and had such a great time with that project. We visited our local craft store and picked up a few things to dye. We ended up with bags, pillowcases, shirts, and hats. I forgot just how messy this project can get!
Some days are hot, and other days we are fortunate to receive some rain, and I can honestly say that I cherish those rainy days. We have checked out a few E-books from our local library, and on those really hot days, we stay in and read.
Coffee dates are happening on the back porch. My husband and I really enjoy drinking coffee, and being able to drink our coffee together when the heat goes away in the evening is something we look forward to.
My garden is in full bloom. My clematis vines are growing at a very fast rate. I didn't do too much in the vegetable garden this year. I am growing a few pepper plants and onions for now. Next year, I am hoping that I'll get a little more into my gardening.
We have three toads that have decided to make their homes in two of our window wells. They are the cutest!
Our summer days are full of sunshine, laughter, crafts, and making sweet memories.
How are you spending your summer days? I'd love to hear all about it.
Until next time,
♡♡♡
Sometimes it's nice to take a break and just enjoy life. Sounds like you are having a wonderful summer!

Deletelooks like fun! I love summer, sun and tie dye is always super fun and pretty!
ReplyDeleteLyosha, yes tie dye is always so much fun, and pretty! :)
DeleteThere is something so relaxing about just relaxing outdoors with the fresh air and a coffee, isn't there? A lot of people don't understand me when I say that it's one of my favourite parts of going camping. I LOVE being in the middle of nowhere, surrounded with nothing but nature and my drip coffee maker working it's magic.
ReplyDeleteBritt, I can totally relate to this! I love just love it, and yes a drip coffee maker working is definitely magic! I could actually use a cup this evening. ;) Thank you for stopping by. :)
DeleteThe perfect summer! winter here in New Zealand, so doing lots of indoor art things, but looking forward to summer.
ReplyDeleteTrish, aw indoor art projects sound wonderful. That is what I will be doing when winter comes around. Right now I am enjoying the sunshine! Thank you. :)
DeleteIt sounds like the break from blogging is exactly what you needed! I do this periodically, and simply re-share older content over again as I go, and it feels amazing too. We all need a break at times!
