It's a summer kind of post . . .

















 Summer creeps in like a soft footed pretty little maid . . .  pirouetting in on slippers of gold.  Tis the season of wildflower meadows and picnics and berries and cream . . .  




















For cloudless skies and starlit nights and sand-in-the-toes walks on a sunlit beach . . .

  



















For ice creams and popsicles and butterflies and bees . . . .  he loves me, he loves me not and daisy crowns . . .

.

For skipping stones across trickling brooks and sprinkler runs . . . and wading in cold water that reaches to your knees . . .

{ whimsicalities }

For reading books midst insect's hum and picnics beneath the shadows of dark and leafy trees . . .  
















 For tall frosty glasses of lemonade and soaring through the sky on invisible wings that carry you higher and higher, warm breezes on your cheeks . . .























For jars filled with fireflies and barefeet and slipping between cold sheets at end of day still smelling of the sun . . .

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” 
~F Scott Fitzgerald

Welcome Summer!  What took you so long!  Please don't be in a hurry to leave!

This was what I did yesterday afternoon.  I spent so much time on it we ended up having egg and chips for our tea!  Not that Todd minded.  He's an egg and chips kind of a guy . . .

Baking in The English Kitchen today . . . Walnut Slices . . . we the missionairies coming over to help Todd in the garden.  I thought they might like a treat.  These are so dangerously good you want to be able to share them, just so you don't scarf them all down by yourself!

  6. LOVED this post. I've been neglecting my Small and Wonderful things, summer is a lot harder to blog during than I was expecting, but I need to bring it back. I wish I could write like you!
