ReplyDeleteYaaay! Finally, congratulations for hitting 500 followers! My favorite things about summer are the colors of flowers and trees! They're just too beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love summer evenings, cooking out, doing some reading and enjoying all the flowers and critters in the yard!
ReplyDeleteFavourite thing about summer...summer clothes! Nothing's better than the fresh light summer wardrobe that I love oh so much.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about summer is the sun! It makes for more happiness and more outings. I love so much more about the summer too, but most of these things are enabled because the sun is out :)
ReplyDeletemy favourite summer thing is eating. or bike riding. or maybe biking to get ice cream. or maybe having that time to go through every single rack and hanger and earring in vintage stores. or watching a movie. or feeling the air conditioning when you walk in the house. maybe its the feeling of getting up on water skiis at your friends cabin. or listening to that song on repeat. or getting to see all the people you love. or waking up to see that you really can sleep in another twenty minutes. or another 3 hours. maybe its having that time to travel, wherever your heart desires. or that sad feeling of discovering it was the last page of your book. or maybe... maybe it is having so much time to be oh so indecisive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway!

Summer is year round here in Miami, but my favorite thing about it is all of the brightly colored clothing and nail polishes that the stores carry to fit the season. Pretty bright pinks, yellows, and greens make me feel instantly happy.

Congratulations on hitting 500 followers! How exciting! I hope that you are proud of yourselves! It's nice to be a part of this celebration, and I want to thank you for the opportunity to to join in on this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAs for my favorite thing about summer ... I'd have to say that it's twilight. It's after supper, when you're winding down, and the sun is beginning to set. The locusts and crickets and birds and insects are just tuning up their nightly symphony, and lightning bugs begin to appear and ignite the pinpricks of light. It's the peacefulness, the freshly mowed grass, and the serenity that time of day that I love.
fave thing this summer has definitely been watermelon :)
ReplyDeletex

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about summer is that the sun is out till late and you just feel so light on your feet because you dont have to carry a sweater. and the feeling is just great my favorite memory of summer was riding in the car with my bestfriend with our windows down stoping at Dunkin Donuts at 12am getting an iced coffee and heading towards lake michigan just sitting in the sand talking about our future it was a great time in my life. :)
Congrats girls on hitting 500 followers, you deserve it !
ReplyDeleteWhat I like the most about summer? feeling free, iced tea, longer days, feeling like every day is a party, ugly postcards, travelling, that Paris in totally empty in August, less people in the metro, my mom-in-law tomatoes (from her garden) - best thing ever-, bikinis, the sound the waves at the sea, that there are always tons of pregnant women in summer (!!!), and raspberries :)
The evening time, the sounds of crickets and cicadas, the smell of earthiness. My vegetable garden and especially all my fresh tomatoes. My windows open and the sound of a train at night far in the distance tooting his horn as he comes through town

My favorite thing about summer is how long it stays light out. I can wake up at 6am and enjoy the gray light with a hot cup of coffee and then have a hot cup of tea at 9pm and enjoy the brilliant colored sky that happens right before sunset! I am a little sad for this to go away:(

ReplyDeleteI wish I could say things like 'summer clothes, barefeet in the sand, the warmth of the sun on my face, picnics in the park, bike rides on a sunny day and swimming in the sea. But lets be honest here...I live in Ireland. So my favourite thing about Summer is that pretty much ONE day of sunshine where I try to squeeze all of the above into twenty-four hours. And BBQ's. And praying for it not to pour out of the heavens on my yummy feast!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 500 mark :) XO

My favorite thing about summer is when it ends! ;) I'm an autumn kind of girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Fingers crossed!
I love wearing sundresses and eating sno cones every day!
ReplyDeleteIt was in the Summer that I first became a mother. I still count it as my favorite summer moment.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of summer is the sense of adventure that surrounds everything you do. When the weather is warm I find myself driven to go out and do things, rather than just sit inside. Cold weather makes me feel sedentary and sullen, but the warmth of summer makes me long for nights outside looking at the stars, days spent carelessly at the beach or pool, light dresses that you can't help but spin around in, and tanned skin kissed by the sun. Summer means freedom to me. Weekends where you slip away unplanned to your favorite places, quick trips to the shore or the lake, where you can forget about your stress and responsibilities and just enjoy the moment. Summer makes you feel infinite, like there is excitement to be had around every corner. Summer means a break from the routine, a break from the monotony, a break from the darkness and cold. Summer means roasting marshmallows over a fire, bare shoulders in your favorite vintage top, laughing too loud with friends. Summer is silly and carefree and romantic and sexy and most of all, summer is just plain fun.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part of summer is being lazy with my kids, taking them travelling around the province/ country to see new things and experiencing the world through their eyes!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about summer is drinks on the patio and lots of time spent outdoors (preferably up north at a cabin, on a lake).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 500!!
What I think I love most about this summer is making homemade popsicles with my craaaazy new quick pop maker! So addicting and fun.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! My favorite thing about summer is swimming. We've been renovating for the last four months and yesterday was the first weekend we had off, we spent three hours tubing down the river. It was perfection.
ReplyDeleteI love fresh peaches...and peach cobbler. Yum!!
