summer weekend

 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!





These ladies drove their decorated golf cart down to watch the pretty sunset. Look who they had between them:


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!









some of my Annie books






I love the charming old fashioned pictures!





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:

Summer brings gardens:

Summer produce:



I love summer because I can slice up yellow squash..........and fry it up all brown and crispy! One of my most favorite summer treats, along with fried green "maters". 
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!

all cleaned up!


We have bananas growing too!

A Summer drive to Isle of Palms:
"best seat in the house" LOL

bright house! bright and pretty


summer snacks:
this is my current favorite snack!--if you like corn on the cob, you will love it!

Jenny told me about these cookies....oh my GOODNESS they are so good!
Summer flowers:
and of course, I love summer flowers.


Our clematis bloomed in the spring, and it's now back in bloom again! It must like the rain, which has been plentiful.


we have zinnias this year! I love them!

How is your summer coming along? What are YOUR favorite summer things?
