July 11, 2011 in farmhome· little lists· summertime· the little things

i have the hardest time being indoors in the summer…


[pretty farmhome nature shots from after my ride last week]

you know, list-making is like one of my favorite pastimes/compulsive habits
and since we are so passionately in love with the summer around here
i find it only appropriate to make a list of the summertime vibes that never get old…

  1. back porching with wine as the sun goes down
  2. fresh blooming flowers everywhere
  3. frank sinatra playlists by the pool
  4. summer hair. hair braids. hair everywhere because you can do that.
  5. summertime polaroids [polas are so carefree and summery to me]
  6. toenail polish on tan feetsies
  7. big fields to go a-frolicking through.
  8. leaving a restaurant expecting it to be dark out but it’s still daylight!
  9. not to mention husband gets home from work and it’s also still daylight.
  10. grabbing coffee with friends and sitting outside with cute sunglasses on [bonus!]
  11. walking out of cold buildings straight into hugs from warm summer air
  12. clothes that don’t restrict your general daily movement [not to mention cartwheels]
  13. waaaaay fewer DVRed shows to feel obligated to catch up on
  14. windows-down driving [perhaps a little too fast. with a fluff nose happily sniffing in the air.]
  15. summertime summer songs! i am obviously partial to the one featured here. duh.
  16. swimsuits. water. trips to the lake.
  17. oh and puffy clouds. why are clouds so great?

dearest, most glorious summertime. i never take you for granted!

[and happy 7/11/11! whew, so rhymey!]

    "I have the hardest time being indoors in the summer" – agreed. And this summer with my first big girl job? Forget about it. As much as I love my job, one hour of sun after work is NOT enough.

    Love your blog! Following!

    I enjoyed reading through your list and was nodding my head in agreement with every single one! Back porching with wine as the sun goes down is one of my faves 🙂
