A Few of my Favorite Things

I was going through a stack of magazines on Saturday. Tearing out pictures of kitchens I will never have, places I will never visit and things I will never make. But still I do this every month or so. I thought it might be nice to share a few pictures of things that make me smile or I must have in the summer.

I love to wear dresses in the summer. They are much cooler and no need to match anything. I like to do my own nails. This is a pretty pink color. Cute sandals, I buy them but do I ever wear them? I always grab the same black flip flops from two years ago.

You all know I love my flowers. Have you ever tried strawberries in your salad? If not give it a try. I like to put pears, apples, raisins and sometimes even pineapples in my salad.

I have been drinking iced coffee for as long as I can remember. It is a standard year round drink here in Rhode Island. The Atlantic Ocean, I visit the beach a few times during the summer. It is about 45 minutes away, including stopping for coffee on the way.

I love to take a book outside and just sit on my swing and read. I mean sit on the swing and read. Motion and reading is not a good thing for me. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons by far. Sunshine, 80 degrees and a light breeze that is my idea of a start to a fine day.

Self tanners, I have been using them for years. The results have varied as anyone who uses them will know. I am using this one this year and I like it. Now, I am going outside to water and weed the flowers , the sun is shining and there is a light breeze, temperature is about 75.

PS I see that I spelled sandals wrong, I am sorry it was late last night when I was doing this. I think I am going to have to double and triple check my spelling. Also, on the top of the first picture there are two ice cream cookie sandwiches, need I say more?
