Hello everyone,
Hope your summer is going well and you have had time to enjoy some of the 'simple pleasures' of summer.
Wildflowers and a good book.
A casual summer picnic on a sunny summer day.
Iced tea and a fresh juicy peach for a light snack.
I love this toile pillow- a gift from my sister in law.
Did you notice the pretty parosol/umbrella? Polks dots are one of my favorite things this year so for 50 cents-who could resist?
With summer's end rapidly approaching I want to enjoy some of the 'simple pleasures' of summer before moving into fall.
Today,I am joining
Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.
Thank you for your visit,
Carolyn

ReplyDeleteHard to fathom how short and sweet your summers are - your garden season really is packed into a few glorious months, it seems. And you certainly make the best of it! Thank you for your beautiful blog!
Relaxing and charming corner

Darling post, Carolyn. Love the 50 cent polka dot umbrella! Haven't seen that book, Simple Pleasures, but it looks good. Susan
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dot parasol, Carolyn, and the pillow is charming too. A lovely and relaxing tea on the ground is just the thing for these warm summer days. Thank you for joining me and have a beautiful day.

What a wonderful lazy summer vignette! I love the toile pillow and the parasol and that looks like the perfect book for the occasion. The frosty glass of tea looks perfect. Ahhh....

Another glorious post, Carolyn! Love the polka dot umbrella!
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteAfter two lovely weeks in England I enjoy sitting behind my computer again reading all those beautiful posts. Your garden looks beautiful. I am happy to hear you got the rain you wanted so badly. We are having our first 'summer weather' of the season :-). Hurray!
The umbrella is a great find and the peach crumble pie in your last post looks delicious.
Have a lovely week!
