  2. Yay Summer! I cannot wait to not have to make school lunches anymore!!! And Fla in just a few short weeks...we'll be gone until the first week of August since you know, it's not hot enough here. ;)
    Summer read :: Please, please pick up The ShoeMaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani. I think you would love it! I did.
    I've also heard that the Midwife of Venice (Rich is the author I think?) is just excellent. It's on my list!

  5. Dearest Celia,

    Enjoy the freshness of summer fruits... I just did. We drove to Atlanta today and came home from Costco with lots of fresh fruits. So yummy. It is a happy season but almost melancholic too as from now on the days start shortening again. Can't we hold on to it a bit more?!
    Love to you and enjoy your garden and the outdoors with your love and furbabies.

  6. Now, if the sun could just take the hint and come out to play, I would believe summer is here. Sill raining here in Wales :-(

  7. Summer is about relaxing and slowing down and enjoying the simple things... freshly mowed grass, the seashore, the wind in the pines, lemonade, hammocks, reading on the porch, napping... enjoying our kids!!!

    So, the picture w the girl in the Bimmer... seriously, that can't be comfortable... it has to hurt, doesn't it?!!!

  12. Lovely images Celia. My summer will be spent moving back to the UK after 12 years in Spain. But I am just as excited as if I were moving somewhere new and unknown. So no beach for me, but re-connections with family and friends, meeting some new blogging friends for the first time and seeing my country with new eyes and a new perspective xx

  13. I like all of the Elin Hilderbrand books for a light summer read. She is a Nantucket based author and all of her book settings are on the island. It really gives you a flavor of the island and she's a good writer. Not too heavy either. Perfect for plopping down on a beach chair or back deck with iced tea. xo
