Thank you so much to my new followers/readers and to the very sweet people who have left comments for me over the last few weeks. I will be sure to visit you this week but it's actually been another busy week at our place. I've worked for a couple of days and poor old Big Al is sick again! This time he has developed tonsillitis. He is very upset about missing a soccer game today and a rugby game tomorrow. He said to me today that he is so sick of winter and can't wait for summer. I couldn't agree with him more!
I am well and truly ready for less of this...
and more of this!
So it should come as no surprise then that my favourite pictures from around the web this week are all about summer!

You're my kind of gal!
I am having trouble though linking up my site - I haven't had trouble with other sites before - I don't know if cyberspace just needs a little coffee break

Oh, if I could only send you some of this 100+ degree weather we are having in Texas . We are longing for the beginning of fall just so we can have a break.
ReplyDeleteYour photos this time are dreamy!
Very cute summer pics! Happy PS!
ReplyDeleteNatasha, it is definitely summer here. Love the images. Difficult to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love your pins, Natasha! I need to get busy and start pinning and re-pinning! ;)

Great pictures, I especially like the one of the kids in the pool, it remains me of how my brothers use to torture me in the pool! No worries, I use to torture them with my Donny and Marie! lol Still love Donny and Marie too this day!
ReplyDeleteGreat party, always glad to be a guest. Diane
Thanks for visiting me at ~ciao newport beach~. I am now following you beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteciao!
For whatever reason, I couldn't seem to find that song. Or maybe it was because I was trying to find the Gilmore Girls version. I can't remember...
ReplyDeleteI love Pinterest. I think I might be addicted.
Great summer pictures!!...but you must wait a little while.....we have a bad summer here in Holland.....so sorry !!....xxx...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and lively post!

Nice summer images. It's summer here in Chicago and I know just how you feel towards the end of winter. I really like your selection of pins.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sad to see that Sunday Song is no more Natasha, but all the best with the new venture. I have decided that I do not want to get involved with Pinterest, just another thing to eat up my time.
ReplyDeleteEach shot is a work of art. My personal favorite is the table with the pink candles. We're going to be leaving summer behind in a few short weeks. I hope you enjoy yours and it isn't quite as hot as ours has been.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I especially love the enamelware pitcher full of flowers and the pink striped umbrella. Happy Summer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great party! I will be back later today with some Pins!
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha - I love how you keep finding joy every day and in every way! (Hope the little guy feels better soon - wow-doubly-whammy!)
ReplyDeleteStay well and carry on!
Best Wishes---

Hi Natasha! Oh, don't you love Pinterest? Sounds like a fun party too!
ReplyDeleteNo Roos or Chicks? Oh, we must work on changing that. Although your idea of finding some on Pinterest sounds pretty cute!
Hope your son is better soon.
Be a sweetie,

Natasha, What a great idea for a linky party! I would love to participate but I cannot figure out how to use it. I don't have a pin bar come up for me to pin things. So until I figure this out, I'll just enjoy your gorgeous pins and everyone else's!
