You know we have less than five weeks of summer left. Boo, Hiss, Boo!
Yes it is hard to believe that another summer is coming to and end and I still haven't done half of the things I wanted to do! So, if you are like me you will try and cram a bunch more summer into these next few weeks. Up north here the end of summer seems to come a bit sooner, more like right after Labor Day. Here are a few of my favorite photos to give you ideas and inspiration to get you going! If you can't get away to do these things for real, just take a little vacation in your brain while gazing at these pretty pictures! Enjoy and Happy Monday!
Look at some flowers. This soft pink sunflower is just lovely!
Try a new recipe with those summer squash. This casserole looks so delicious!
This recipe for squash and corn chowder had a bunch of pins. I wonder if anyone besides the person that took this picture has made it yet? Maybe you will!
I can not get enough berry recipes. I am crazy for them, blackberries and raspberries, yum!
I have some of these white phlox in my garden, as well as every other shade of pink and lavender you can think of. They have gotten a little out of control, but I love the fragrance and I cut huge armfuls and bring them in the house. My husband asks, "What's that smell?"
I did this the other day. It had been a long time since I had actually taken off my shoes and walked on the lawn. It felt amazingly good, I felt like a kid again!
The beach, aah that sad end of summer feeling. We don't all have beaches but go to the closest approximation be it a lake, swimming pool, or kiddie pool. Kick the kids and the dog out of there, it's your turn!
This is a peach sangria recipe. I think I will be making this next weekend!
Go for a swing. Isn't this a lovely picture. I was kind of thinking more t-shirt, tennis shoes, and shorts when I went searching for a picture of a swing. Just thought she looks so pretty there.... But if you happen by a nice swing in the park or on the edge of a forest like here, don't hesitate to jump on there like a kid and swing to your hearts content. Why should kid's have all the fun, it's the end of the summer and anything goes!

ReplyDeleteThat sunflower is so pretty. I have never seen a pink one before. I love the contrast of the dark center. If you make that peach sangria let us know how it turns out. It looks delish.
