We've been taking walks after dinner.
Enjoying all that summer has to offer.
I try to take in every little thing. Knowing winter will blanket all that I see and hear in no time at all.
This little pond brimming with noisy critters.
Green and gold as far as I can see.
The smell of the earth and the corn as the summer sun warms its husks. Oh how I love to smell the corn.
My girl's laughter as they go higher and higher. It's a beautiful thing. What is your favorite thing about Summer?
Have a blessed day.
****I'm having a give-away today over at my blogging friend Teresa's. Make sure to go check it out:)*****
Looks awesome! I miss the north just for all those things....
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures too.
I adore summer smells and sounds. Birds singing, the smell of freshly cut grass and laughter of children playing after dinner. I also love the smell of corn...I'm a country girl at heart. :)
ReplyDeleteFrogs, cicadas, crickets singing in symphony...swinging at the park with my kids...ice cream cones and trips to pool. And being at home with my boys during the summer!
ReplyDeleteOh, and you can't forget homegrown produce like sweet corn, cucumbers, tomatoes and strawberries!
We must be thinking alike...I am loving it too and just posted about it all. Your area is just beautiful...I love all the same things, I am so grateful for this beautiful world Heavenly Father created for us! Summer in on the down cline though, I can just feel it :D
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of sunshine coming through my windows and waking me in the morning, the smell of sunscreen on my fresh bathed baby, the idea that we can play until 8:00 at night cause it is still warm and light outside, wearing sundresses to work, and sneaking out at lunch to feel the sun warm my chilled office bones...so many thing I love about summer...so many!! Happy hump day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Becky! I love the smell of summer and sounds of crickets at night. I also love summer storms (not tornado's) just the sound of thunder and rain and the smell after it has passed.
ReplyDeletei love that my girls schedule slows way down & that allows them just to "be"...of course, my 9 year old has had about as much "be" time as she can handle. i think she's a little bored today.
ReplyDeletelove your landscape captures!
Such great photos... and you should SOAK it up girl!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya, have a great day.

Summer brings simplicity! I love the way a slice of watermellon compliments a burger off the grill, or the warm summer breeze, love the smells of summer, love sitting on my parents deck listening to the birds and trees blowing in the wind, I love singing in summer theater under the stars, I love sitting out late at night talking and laughing with friends, fun drinks, pool time, and my boys rolling down our grass hills....so many more, just thought I would share a few. I love your pictures!
ReplyDeleteLoving your gifts of summer~
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of the corn growing up the hill, beautiful! I know how bad you miss the sunshine during the winter months, so I pray you get to enjoy it to the fullest for as long as you can!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great! I love going for walks and taking my girl to the park!
ReplyDeleteWeeMan's bare toes following me through the garden helping to water the plants. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little stroll...
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos. Thanks for sharing!
Great list - I'll be soaking the Minnesota summer up before the snow right along with you by the end of next week!
ReplyDeleteOne of my ultimate favs of summer is hearing the
Mourning Dove Coo!!

i enjoy beach trips...pool days after dinner...walks on the trail at our gym with my hubby....working on puzzles with my kids at the dining room table...i enjoy how relaxed we are in the summer months...we give ourselves more time to laugh...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Summer is that my husband...who is a teacher...is home more. We're able to just enjoy the days and each other.
Hugs and wishes for a wonderful day!
Anne
Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteI adore summer...the daylight lasting so much longer, the warm nights, beautiful sunny days by or on the ocean, flimsy summer clothes, open toe shoes, going abroad to foreign places on vacation, all the beautiful flowers, the sounds of the birds and other creatures...summer is definitely my favorite time of the year.
You take the most beautiful pictures! My favorite thing about summer? Um, that autumn and winter are coming! (I'm not a summer girl...)
ReplyDeleteall of the green that we can see and take in. i don't want winter to come again, i really don't, it is just too long!
ReplyDeleteI think you have ever- so -elequently described every one of my favorite things about summer! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe farmers are busy harvesting the hay around here, and the corn field that surrounds our home is already way over my head! This only means one thing... Fall is just around the corner.:)
Be Blessed, sweet friend!

Gorgeous photos, Becks!! That railroad track one is my fave. And do not - DO NOT - say the "W" word. Not yet!! (But I've been thinking the same thing...Shhh!)
ReplyDeleteLove the corn photo!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the beach in summer... I love the never ending sand, the mighty waves, the peaceful close to God feeling I get when I stand on the beach... pure bliss! In 2 days I will be standing on the beach... *insert HUGE grin* =)
Thanks for the lovely comment yesterday...
I love visiting your blog Becky ~ encouraging, inspiring, warm, fun!! ~ I always leave smiling! (except I won't visit when I am at the beach, k!!) =)
Beautiful summer you're having Becky! Homework-free time with kids is a blast, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGood morning!
ReplyDeleteI love the feeling
that we are squeezing
every last drop of
life out our days
during the summer...
Up longer hours,
outdoors more,
walking in bare
feet, tasting the
fruits of the season ~
ice cream by the
beach, too!
I'm also storing
up the warmth
and sunshine for
what's ahead,
before we know it.
Love to you,
today.
xx Suzanne

since we're moving from the midwest to Colorado, I have been thinking a lot about taking these kinds of pictures too. I just don't know if I have time. After seeing yours it makes me realize I need to make time. :) Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You've really captured the feeling of summer :)
ReplyDeleteSun, beach, summer fruit, watermelon! summer nights, summer mornings, fresh summer drinks, green nature, ice-cream, SWIMMING IN THE SEA! ....... whatever
ReplyDeleteYour surroundings look just lovely!! It was fun to go on your path. My favorite thing about summer this year is simply that it is NOT WINTER!! :) xo grasp every moment until summer's end ....
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty pictures, Becky! You have a beautiful walk. This summer, my favorite thing has been watching the wee baby swallows in the birdhouse outside my shop...go from tiny little big-mouthed fluffs to graceful little babes...swooping and flying...loop-de-looping through the air. They've now flown the coup and are probably on their way to South America for the winter! Isn't that incredible?
ReplyDeleteHappy trails!
: )
