Just Curious…What is on Your Summer Bucket List for 2017?

June 23, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 6 Comments

Summer is finally here, at least on the calendar, the weather not so much. No matter because with all of the crazy rain I have been able to spend a little time thinking about my bucket list. 

For the last few years I have made a list of the things that I absolutely want to do over the summer season and I almost always complete them all but a few things always get away because of time or weather. This year I decided to focus on 10 things only. 

As you can see my list is very simple, no grand adventure although I am open to one if it comes along, I want to enjoy family, friends, and the simple pleasures of Summer. 

Do you have something special planned for your summer? A wonderful holiday, a family reunion, time at the beach or just enjoying life at home? 

Whatever you do I hope that you enjoy it. The season is short and soon winter will be upon us so get out there and catch some fireflies, splash in the ocean, take a hike in the mountains, eat a Popsicle, have a BBQ. 

Have a great day!

    I'm with you here. Last night, I surprised myself. My husband had worked late, came home only to leave again with our neighbor for a movie – something he never really does. So I got up off the sofa, our usual evening spot, and I got my camera. My heart started to pump fast out of excitement because I rarely if EVER, play with my camera to do night shots.

    It was enchanting. I didn't get any masterpiece photos, but I did succeed in getting photos without that ugly flash but rather with the natural moment of dark and light. I went outside of my comfort zone, I enjoyed the longest day of the year, and I felt as if I touched a star.

    Now for more summer fun. I love your idea of being a tourist in your own town. Today, I'm meeting with an Instagram pal and her daughter for a photo session. It may rain, but let's see what we can make of it…hey, it's summer play time.

    A national park is a good idea.

    This is really a simple but important thing I need to do. I was just saying to my sister that even with my best intentions, the summer slips away from me, and sometimes without me having a single picnic or seeing a concert on the lawn! I'm scheduling your post to share on FB! thanks, Elizabeth! xox

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

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
