For the first time in a while, tonight was quiet in our house for several hours. I was all alone, and loving it. No kids, my husband was working, no TV, no barking dogs, no music, . . . just the sound of birds, my own thoughts, a beautiful sky, still air, and the feel of summer. Finally.
What I'm loving ...
Instagram. My husband shot, and texted me, the two beach photos while out on a 45 mile bike ride this past Sunday. The rose and strawberry images are my own.
I love the smell of this candle. Actually everyone in my family loves it. It reminds us all of the beach.
I love colored canning jars. The above Lightening jar is an oldie my husband dug up out of a bottle dump, almost 30 years ago!
I love a pink sunset
And I love fresh summer flowers. These Sweet Peas are perfect, though I must confess I scoffed them up from someone else's garden. Honest to goodness they had hundreds of them so I figured they would never miss four ; )
I love the white christmas lights I turn on every night in our living room on my display table.
Tomorrow (July 1st) is my day and I hope it's a good one. A relaxing one. Maybe a day to walk along the beach.
Thank you all for stopping by. I keep saying I'm going to catch up on everyone's blogs but it's not happening. The days seem to be flying by lately. I swear I don't know where the time goes!

Hope your day tomorrow is a wonderful one.
Lovely summer pictures Sharon. The one of the sunset behind the trees looks like behind our house ;-) I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. It's a holiday weekend for us and I'm looking forward to some fun celebrating Canada Day. Enjoy! Pamela
Nice photos, Sharon. Good job! "Dontcha" just love "at home" summer days? Gotta love 'em. Susan
Sharon, lovely post! I know what you mean about the time flying by! Here we are into the seventh month and it still feels like Christmas was last week!

I love the rose image best. I would give anything to be near the beach this weekend. Have a wonderful and fun 4th! Carol
I love the second sunset photo, with the lone spruce tree! Just perfect!
But I really have to get some strawberries before they are gone...
Hi Sharon... stopped by your blog last night but was too tired to comment.. when it's late my brain just shuts down.
Just wanted to stop by today and wish you and your family a great 4th of July week-end... hope you will be next to the water.

Beautiful photos! Love the idea of the lights. I love instagram too. Another addiction!
What is your instagram name?
I'm loving those Instagram pics! And how sweet that your hubby sent you some from his ride! Hope you have a wonderful holiday, Sharon!

Your photos are just stunning Sharon. Each and everyone . I just love your view . The flowers and vase just make me smile. Happy 4th dear lady.
Hope you and your family had a wonderful day and night.
I love the smell of candles.
In the winter when its dry I love to put water on to simmer with Cinnomon Sticks inside the pot. It is wonderful without baking. :)
Your candlelight photo is so beautiful! I always have trouble capturing the beauty of firelight.
I hope you had a great weekend!

How pretty! I love the "Lightening" jar! I bet it was for catching lightening bugs back in the day ;)
Hurray for summer! It's pretty much summer year-round here, but I still find a little excitement stored up for July and watermelons and sunshine :)
I hope that you had a good day! I'm loving instagram as well.
Love reading about the things you love, Sharon!
These are beautiful images of summer. This year, I plan on taking a crash course for photography made for beginners. Check out my blog soon for it: sleepaway camp.
