Summer Sundays

~ Sunday ~

Today we will be off on a jaunt with a special little girl.

Mackworth Island~Portland, ME

***

First, we will read this delightful book.

~Fairy Houses~

by Tracy Kane

Then a quick stop for this...

Then to Mackworth Island to visit all of the Fairy Houses and the Pet Cemetery.

I'll be taking plenty of photos.

And return with a full report.

Later this evening, a light strawberry salad for dinner...

...and our evening will end with this~

and a very tired little girl crawling into bed after a fun filled day on the coast of Maine visiting Fairy Houses~ what could be more fun for a little girl of five?

Summer Sundays and a Special Birthday~

~Happy Fifth Birthday~

To a very special Water Baby

While having my coffee early this morning, I dropped in on Jeanne.

She was sharing her first Summer Sunday with us!

She got the idea from The Tablescaper {see link below to go visit, if you haven't already}.

What a genius idea for the busy weekend! Find or photograph images that mean summer to you. Not much text needed, so you can get on with fun summer activities!

Here are a few things that mean summer to me!

A seaside cottage, windows open, a light breeze~ just right for curling up with a good book or a short nap!


This beautiful porch~ gleaming floor, white furnishings, bright bouquets of summer flowers, another good book and some lemonade nearby!


And of course, a few great lobster dinners-paired with heirloom tomatoes and some fresh picked then roasted corn!


Long walks along my favorite beach...

~and lots of herbs, plucked from my garden, then creating a delicious dinner around them.
