feels like summer

I have a confession to make: I haven't been incredibly creative lately, but I have been having a reeeeally loooovely July :)

Plenty of chaffeuring to baseball games and friend's houses.

 
Stopping along the way to try out the new burger joints we've been wanting to try.

 
I've been keeping my camera handy, taking photos of ideas for our yard someday. This is the sort of fence we'd like to put in our front yard soon.

Love the house the fence belongs too. Isn't she a charmer?

And here's my view at our pool. It's just a couple of streets away.

 
It's reeeally hard to say no when the kids ask to go spend a couple of hours here. Pure heavenly bliss :)

 
 
You know it definately feels like the middle of summer, when this is what you find on your kitchen counter in the morning....  

 
and the clean dishes are looking summery and patriotic after the 4th of July barbeque...

 and so is the dog...

and so do the new fake hydrangeas on the mantel... 

and the crochetting basket...

 
and the things I made to sell in the children's shop... (just found that chair for the front porch for $2.50 at a yard sale!)

and the apple pie we ate for breakfast...
 

and our baseball boy in the town parade....
 

and our Girl Scout girl in the town parade...

 

Yep, it's definately feeling like the middle of summer around here....  hot, lazy, glorious, and I wish it could last for at least a few more months.

I hope you're enjoying it too-- wherever you happen to be this summer. I'm running off to Girl Scout camp way up in the tippy tops of the Wasatch mountains for a few days. ~ See you when I get back! xoKelly

Your summer is looking delightful...where is that pool I want to just go lay on a lounge chair right out in the sun!
Cutest dress no wonder Miss Sophie paints flowers all the time. talk about summer purses and back to school purses, oops back to school bad word slipped in.
Missed the parade, Miss Sophie smart enough to wear a hat and throw out drinks.

Looking forward to pictures from girls camp, have fun, feel well. I think you will.

When you find out who did that fench and the cost could you pass it along to me...thats my kind of fence with a big overflowing rose bush right in the middle of each section...serious!
I have one picked out, but it was thicker and I need to do the grayed/tan color, but love it! Its a wow...as soon as my loan is paid...I am saving for that fence too!
