Summer Bucket List

July 15, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

Good morning! How are you? How is your summer going? Mine has been BUSY; lots of family, friends, road trips, vacations, adventures, and more. I will tell you later about a few of my trips to North Carolina, Wisconsin, Louisiana and all stops in between. 

I cannot believe it is already the middle of July. Summer is almost over and I am beginning to feel like a kid that has to go back to school soon. So this week my mind is on my summer “bucket list.” Did you make one? 

I wrote down a few things I wanted to do at the beginning of summer and have been slowly ticking them off. Simple things like watching the fireworks, going on a picnic, spending lots of time at the beach, laying by the pool, spending afternoons reading, and taking a few road trips but I still have a few things to left to do. 

I still want to:

Do a little stargazing

Make s’mores over a bon fire with my nieces and nephew

Visit a new place

Take in a few museums

Visit a few historical sights

Get to know my city better

Catch fireflies with the kids

Take up a new hobby

Attend an outdoor concert

What about you? Did you make a list of fun things you wanted to do this summer? How are you coming along on your list?

I plan on ticking off a few things this week and maybe you will too.

I hope that you have a great day!

    Oh, I hear ya, Elizabeth! And I've been living here in Minneapolis for 18 years now, and just yesterday, for the first time, I actually explored DOWNTOWN, which is only 10 minutes from my house. I am going back again tomorrow with some COLD HARD CASH! Oh the fun. And like you, I want to stargaze…..tonight perhaps! We get into the habit of staying up in front of a good movie, when I really would love to go out and stare into the sky…..HAVE FUN!!!!!

    Museums are always a good way to spend a summer's day, particularly if one prefers cooler spaces!

    Elizabeth, It sounds like your summer is going well. I just mentioned this weekend the summer is almost over, and I have yet begun to enjoy it. It is all good though! Enjoy the remainder of your week, and the weekend.

    Your summer bucket list sounds wonderful. You've even given me some ideas. I can't remember the last concert I've been to and I've been wanting to try a new hobby. We did just come back from vacation, which wasn't long enough.

    By the way, I'm glad I found your blog today. I really enjoyed the visit… 🙂

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
