Hi there, how is your August going so far? Ours is great. I do love summer even with it's muggy heat. The dang "skeeters" I could do WITHOUT! LOL
We took a drive over to Sullivan's Island this weekend. The marshes are so green and pretty in the summer
Dogs love the beach!

time to make pictures.......and splash in the salty water!
Sunday, back in town.........
I decided to take my Annies out to make a picture of them all together. I think I missed one, but I grabbed all these!

| picked up this pretty skirt at the thrift store, it's swirly chiffon, so light and fun to wear! I love the flowers on it. |
Summer shopping:
Did a little shopping.......got these two summer colognes. One is called Lazy Summer and the other one is Sunday afternoon. They both smell good, but don't last long. If you don't mind re-spritzing, they are good! Fresh scents, not heavy.
picked up these fun summer polishes, for only about two dollars apiece---great deal!! I love fun nail colors
......and found these gardening books at the thrift store:

| sizzling in the hot skillet! |
Mr. Front Porch dug up "taters". I fried them up with onions and peppers from our garden.
Harvesting lots of red peppers! I love these!
 |
| fresh from the garden! |

How is your summer coming along? What are YOUR favorite summer things?
OH my goodness! What a wonderful post full of summer goodness and fun and delights!! And, I must thank you right now for Lily Grace's little package she received in the mail today...She has sent a message to Tracie via email a few minutes ago. So exciting! I can't believe you have all those lovely vegetables growing in your own garden, as well as zinnias and other gorgeous flowers! You are amazing. And then, those Raggedy Anne's!! I had no idea you had those! What a lovely collection, and all those wonderful stories to go along with them. I bet Tracie and Amybelle and Tansy enjoy playing with them too! What a fun house you must have! I love that you went to the beach and so many other fun places. Thank you for sharing all the fun with us. I love your skirt too! It looks so pretty and feminine! You are a dear in every way. Thank you for being such a special friend!! Love, Pam and Lily Grace too
ReplyDeleteWhat a great outing that was and it so was so nice to see people about and happy and enjoying life. I have never eaten a fresh onion from the garden but think they sure look pretty. So do those tomatoes. That blue flower was huge, never seen one like that before and the best of all was the red, white and blue rooster!
ReplyDeleteIt is so much FUN being YOU! Loved it all! The Annie's and your beautiful skirt! I am amazed at your garden and all the things you grew! We are not very good at it but hopefully we can learn. All your produce llok wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to be home for awhile and prepare my home for September! I'm getting so excited!!
Everything is summer-gorgeous! I was just admiring a big bunch of zinnias planted near the street while on my walk this morning. What a happy flower! And WOW that purple clematis is so pretty! Ours is not blooming but then I think y'all have had more rain than we have had. I love your thrift-store skirt and your Annies and their books! Did you and Mr. Front Porch really grow all of that gorgeous produce! So bright and fresh and plentiful! I'm glad you like the cookies from Dollar Tree! Haahaha xoxo
