Even though it’s been incredibly hot (and humid!) and rainy…summer is still my favorite season by far. Here’s just a few of the many, many reasons why… Fresh flowers ~ both inside and out, quiet mornings, bike rides, back yard garden vegetables, warm weather treats and most importantly more time (and daylight!) to do it all in, including focusing on projects around here big and small…all of it captured on my other favorite, Instagram. What are you favoring these days?

Tomorrow, July 1, 2013, Google shuts the lights on Google Reader forever. When I first started this blog in 2009, Google Reader was what I used to keep up with all my favorite blogs. However, a few years ago I switched over to Bloglovin’ and never looked back. I’ve been meaning to do a post about this forever, but true to form, I’m here at the eleventh hour…anyway, if you’re a procrastinator just like me, you have until the end of the day to move your feeds over from Google Reader. USA Today, does a much better job of explaining how than I could ever hope to and also breaks down the benefits of some additional newer alternatives, like Feedly, (which I’m hearing great things about). How do you keep up/subscribe to blogs? I’d love to hear about it in the comments as there are so many different ways to do so, these days!
The other day, the rain let up just enough for me to get some quick shots of my favorite outdoor space.
As you can see, our new outdoor living space is very traditional, with design elements which reflect it’s New England setting.
I love this spot so much, even though I don’t get to use it as often as I would like.
Last summer, I had several planters with flowers and herbs scattered everywhere, but this year I’m really liking the minimal look, with just a few pots.
We’re still trying to come up with the best patio furniture plan here, we want it to feel like a casual living space, an extension of our living room.
What do you think of wicker furniture? It’s also something I’m considering here.
But right now, I’m laser focused on getting all three kids off to camp next week…after which, I plan on spending a lot more time in the fresh air, right here…
I hope you enjoy these porch photos.
