Savoring Summer Features

Highlights

I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting each participant to my

special edition of 

A Return to Loveliness

Savoring Summer

I have chosen six to feature with you! 

They are all magnificent - it was difficult

so I received some help!

Also,

I have composed a list of questions which will be posted Sunday.

I am offering a special

Giveaway!

All you need to do is to visit the participants to find

the answers to the questions!

Email the answers to me by Wednesday, June 29 at noon (EST)

I will review the responses and draw a winner through

Random.org.

Savoring Summer Features

It is clear to me that Cielo savors all aspects of life. One of her gifts that she shares with us is her beautiful garden - you are transported visually to a serene place of beauty and fantasy.

Carolyn has an amazing home and garden - so light and feminine - she takes you to her island - the one we're familiar with through the Anne of Green Gables books - and Carolyn brings it alive - Carolyn's heart and graciousness is revealed through her beautiful pictures -

Lady Farmer lives an enchanting life - one of faith and of purely enjoying her family, home and garden. She shares with you the blessings of Summer in her life

Kathryn transports you to another place and time in her celebration of Summer - she has written a beautiful poem and shares beautiful words from others with gorgeous photos

I would love to be a guest at Sandi's home! Her gracious heart is revealed through her weekly beautiful teas. In her post she shares her love of tea, a new special garden, time with family on the beach and in the forest. Pure essence of summer.

Trisha pairs beautifully the joys of summer - enjoying the moments with her mother and dreamy pictures from their trip to two special cities in the South.

Look for the

Savoring Summer Questionnaire

to be posted on 

Sunday, June 26

The questionnaire will be drawn from the participants to the 

Savoring Summer blog party

The questions are in random order - once completed

email your answers to me.

Thank you so much for your visit! I truly appreciate you!

A Return to Loveliness

Savoring Summer

To see the Summer Sky

Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -

True Poems flee.
~Emily Dickinson

Warm winds blow the fragrance of the flowers as the bees and the birds revel in the bright blue sky. 

Summer is a time when life rejoices in the renewed promises of God.

The beauty and the artistry of creation is revealed in the intricacy and the delicacy of every bloom.

The summer night is like a perfection of thought.  

~Wallace Stevens

Summer

A time to take in a leisurely nap in the shade underneath the branches of a tall strong tree.

A time to picnic in the park, the woods, the beach or in your own backyard.

A time to walk along the white sands of the beach reveling in the coolness of the waves crashing and the water running past your feet.

A time to drive up winding roads into the mountains to view the glory and the peacefulness of your surroundings.

A time for festivals, farmer's markets and for bar-bques. 

a time to make homemade ice cream and to visit on your neighbors porch.

Summer - the prime of life.

I question not if thrushes sing,

If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not reach
When all is summer there.
~John Vance Cheney

blog party on

Tuesday, June 21

In the summertime we think of picnics, days at the beach,
 hammocks, parks, vacations, bar-b-ques and such.

We savor the moments with family and friends

moments to rest and to relax.

So I want to use the K.I.S.S principle for this party.

Keep it simple - sweetie!
