Hark, it's summer

The smell of fresh cut grass

Kites

Morning walks

Blueberries

Sundresses

Books, books, books

Frisbee

Beach towels

Watermelon

Picnics

Ice cubes

Cheesy movies

Baseball

Ospreys

Rooftops

The freedom of walking barefoot

Flower gardens

Zucchini blossoms

Fireflies

Ladderball

Soft serve

Naps

Elm and oak trees

Sunhats

Sundaes

Cold soup

Shady oases

Sand between your toes

Front porches

Midnight strolls

The windows, rolled down

Sunsets

Firecrackers

Green, everywhere

Gentle waves

Gin and tonics

Herbs

Underwater handstands

The coolness of movie theaters

Kayaks

Rosé

SPF 50

Bicycling

Eating breakfast outside

Salty air

Lobster rolls

Drifting

What do you love about summer?

  1. From Winter, I can say that I love and miss everything on your list :)
    Although I make it a point never to do a handstand under water.

  2. Everything except those gin and tonics :) Give me rosé any day! I'd also add: strawberries and whipped cream, green veggies, BBQ, citronnade, little sun spots on my nose. :)

    I want to be in that photo, Amy! Enjoy it.

  3. Bonjour Sweet Freak!
    Merci for your comment! What a coïncidence because I just arrived in the Provence and I'm re-reading your book as we speak! I haven't finished chapter one and already I'm running to the kitchen eating a Nutella-filled croissant to satisfy my sweet tooth after reading your delicious descriptions :)
    J'adore! Much love from France xxx

  5. Sounds like our summer in Alabama and Georgia. Just add some grilled Georgia peaches and top with mascarpone.

  6. I just wanted to say "hi" and that I just finished your book (loved it!) and am headed to Paris tomorrow with some of your recommendations in tow (it's been 4 years since I've been but have been many times and spent a couple of summers there studying). In particular...dinner at L'Ami Jean, Du Pain et Des Idees and Hevin chocolates. I wish I could fit more in but I'm heading to Provence on Saturday. Anyways, great read! (ps. now I also want to do a week in New York thanks to your book ;)
