Bruschette for dinner.
Iced tea like it’s going out of style.
Strappy sandals with gray nail polish.
Basil and sage hoarding.
Navy, orange, light blue & teal.
Cherry tomatoes ripening on the vine.
Peach and blueberry crumbles in old Pyrex dishes.
A new Radio Flyer wagon.
Flowers bursting with color.
Echinacea in the backyard.
A cold Vietnamese noodle salad with a heavy dose of mint.
Red wine outside.
Frozen yogurt for lunch.
Pop-Its littering the sidewalk.
My husband watching EVERY single Red Sox game with his favorite glass.
Hijacking closed schools and playing hopscotch.
Easy free-form pies bursting with fresh summer fruit.
Skateboard tricks & cold lemonade.
A perfect excuse to wear neon.
Kids so exhausted from playing, they fall asleep in the car.
Ripe strawberries infusing vodka and jam waiting to be opened.
Mason jars filled with vegetables.
My niece visiting from MA.
Grilling EVERYTHING in sight.
Eating dinner outdoors.
A bowl of fresh fruits & vegetables from my neighbor’s backyard.
And last but not least… the sound of an ice cream truck!

say somethingHow does he get to watch all of the games? That’s what I hate most about being here in the summer, it’s hard to watch Red Sox games! Can I come to your house to watch?
I will be able to watch this weekend when they play the evil Yankees. Go Sox!
Loved these pictures!

road trips, wine tasting, lake almanor and zucchini!
I want your summer.
I want those strawberries you picked. We’re even.
summer is road trips to go eat donuts:

I especially like Pop-Its littering the sidewalks!
the cleaning up part is always my least favorite though
I pretty much love everything in this post. I can honestly say that I’ve had bruschetta for dinner, fro-yo for lunch and lots of strawberry vodka. I totally forgot about pop-its, it’s been forever!
this last summer week!
Awwww…summer encapsulated. Love, love, love (you have cute feet!)
your post about tomatoes got me in the mood! and thank you!
I HAVE THAT PYREX DISH.
AWESOME!! It’s my mom’s!! I soooo want it.
all of these things are summer…but the ice cream truck always brings me right back!
my husband has a fave drinkin’ glass too! boys…
right?? someone put it in the dishwasher and he FREEEEEAKED out.
I need me some of that fro yo. Stat.
half of it was cookies & cream and the other half was peanut butter! SOO good.
Your summer looks wonderful! I want an ice cream truck in my neighborhood! My summer is sparkling wine, peaches from the farmers market, oysters at the bar, lying by the pool until the afternoon thunderstorm rolls in (Colorado). Summer is walks with the dog hand in hand with the husband. Summer is slow and easy. Happy Summer!
this is so lovely. it makes me excited for our summer, though i know once it’s here i’ll be whinging about the heat like a grumpy old man!
Your summer looks wonderful shutterbean.

As if I haven’t been craving the warmer months of summer enough – then I see this wonderful post describing it in a nutshell. I’m also a big fan of taking meals outside during summer (the closer to the beach the better), getting out for a walk whenever I can and indulging in ice cream.
I want your summer! Particularly your nail polish shades, noodle salad, and fro yo for lunch. Also, your adorable boy. Graham, who is now 6 1/2, fell asleep for the entire ride home from Lopez (90 minutes!) on Sunday. Too much playing!
I want some summer! It’s winter here, and all cold and rainy and snowy.
Can’t wait for some good-lookin’ summer!
Love this photo album of summer. I made lemonade and added a little of your strawberry infused vodka. I was “sipping” the stuff like it was my first cold beverage in months. So good!
My summer looks like celebration and new beginnings! I just got my Masters degree, started a new job, and moved in with the love of my life! so much to look forward to ! check out my blog – jadedlovely.wordpress.com
Wow!! Congrats Jilly!! You’re a rockstar!
I love all these photos. They all look perfectly summeresque! I love your call to action for us all to post our summer in pictures. I may just have to make a summer post of my own.
Thanks for sharing and the inspiration!
Please do!!
So cool! That smells like summer..oh yeah!
Love this idea – it reminded me of things I still want to do!

I live in London. We have no summer. Wait, we did. For a week. In April.
Ooh oooh…I love you inspiration of a new post…gotta get it together. Especially love that I can dig up existing stuff, since my house is in shambles and my good dishes are packed! PS – I love summer…
Love this, Tracy! I wondered if I could dig up a couple of pictures and found a bunch. So fun. Here’s my summer http://bit.ly/pO5ynU

Hello fellow San Franciscan! Love your summer themed posts and that “summer is iced tea like it’s going out of style”. I totally agree! Here’s what summer is to me over at my blog! Thanks for the post idea!

I’m really going to miss summer!
Here is my summer post. Now, that summer is officially over.
http://trendblender.com/2011/09/07/end-of-summer/
oh no! where did your post go? I went to check it out and the link was broken
i am also a mason jar lover (and hoarder!) and i’m super curious about the brand of the one you were drinking out of-it doesn’t look familiar at all!
