Lazy Summer Days. The end of July is fast approaching and those lazy summer days are upon us. The heat is so thick that you can almost see it. Days melt into long nights under sparkling starlit skies. This is the time of year that makes me fondly remember when I used to live on the East Coast. I think of lazy afternoons at the cottage and evenings spent around the fire pit.
I have images of making wildflower wreaths and trying to find that perfect stick for roasting marshmallows. Days spent lounging on the beach engrossed in a great read, then taking a dip in refreshingly cool lake water before going fishing or lounging around a bit more. Back then our daily uniform consisted of shorts and tank tops and not much else. Now of course, I would need a carefully packed tote filled with all of my essentials for the day. I admit that I miss those busy days spent doing absolutely nothing.
What are some of your childhood memories from those lazy summer days?

Roasting marshmallows! Me likey 🙂
Looking back on my childhood days, we just spend the entire daytime playing.
And yes, I admit, I guess we all miss the days when we all want to do was nothing.
singing: “today I don’t feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed” haha!
I’m off to bed now! Have a great weekend Caroline and to everyone else 🙂
Hugs and kisses from ♥ missJHENZ
Oh you too! I think I just miss going to the cottage.

Oh! Summer on the East Coast sounds nice 🙂 When I think of summer in Arkansas, I think of spending days down by the creek with my brothers, swim meets, and going on walks at night with mom because you can’t walk during the day due to humidity!

I was a book worm and would sit outside all day and read my Nancy Drew books. I wish I had more time to do this now…
Me too! I just love reading.

Well i’d say no more wedges for me. Last time i was trying to wear some, i fell down the subway staircase…*yes i do feel stupid about it* – but when i looked down my bloody knee i knew my wedges time was over. Never had taht kind of problems with the usual heels though…
Love your glasses 🙂
I think wedges are harder to walk in. I put those in the picture because they are super comfortable and I liked the colour composition but I mostly stick to heels!

I love flower crowns! Especially for the summer season! 😀
Lovely.
When I was a kid we lived in Holland, MI so I have great memories of days spent on the beach…playing in waves until it hurt to breathe, making forts in the driftwood logs, walking the pier, climbing the lifeguard stand to watch the sunset…golden memories.
I miss summers on the East Coast. Back In New York, we used to spend our summer weekends at the beach on Fire Island. Good times..

Yeah, it must have been similar to Ontario…. those were great summers.

I have never tried to roast marshmallows, maybe I should :D. My childhood summer memories are all from the summer cottage that is in front of the lake, so we did row a boat and swim a lot. I also took a huge interest into insects, spiders, lizards and frogs lol 😀

Same thoughts here. It is really really hot in Greece and i think a night swim is not a bad idea at all. For the morning i recomend the fridge…..

AH! Did you clip the hair flowers onto a floral wreath?! That is genius and would be such a fun way to wear them in your hair!

You take beautiful photos! It’s going to get hotter in Spain and I must admit, I am looking forward to be living in a freezing flat again. The heat is unbearable! 😛

Great sandals! I bet summers on the East Coast were amazing! Thanks for sharing your memories:)
We have a cottage out in Wpg beach and it’s my favourite place to be in the summer! Especially when all the family comes out and we sit around the fire pit laughing, roasting marshmallow etc 🙂 Always a good time!!
