Summer Tribute

Yesterday's weather was a taste of summer!   I reminded me of my "daily summer routine" and how much I love being at our home.  Now, the "daily summer routine" is what an ideal summer day looks like to me.  It doesn't happen daily...but it does happen more often than not since we are newly married with no kiddos.  We really want to enjoy being just the two of us (and sleeping in, relaxing, creating our own flexible schedule) before we decide to start a family.   The routine goes something like this:
Make brunch (I love trying out new breakfast recipes in the summer.)
Put on a bathing suit and summer dress (summer dresses are the best...so comfy!)
Grab-a towel, summer reading, bottle of water
Flip on the outside radio
Sunscreen
Turn on the water hose and water all our plant babies surrounding the pool. (yes,  I've calculated it and it takes about 45 min!  this is my favorite "summer job" at the house!)
Lay and read...swim when you need to cool off!
Then I hit up the grocery store and get all the goods for dinner.(the Mr. will usually grill and I make some sides.)

Our backyard (well, we don't have a yard really....just a pool and entertaining area.) is one of the reasons we fell in love with our house.  These pictures are of the 1st summer in the backyard.

Any summer routines you love?

On another note-----The Mr. is painting the guest bedroom!  Thanks for all the suggestions for a paint color!   I also decided to use "plum" as an accent color...  I found a few goodies to put in the room. (on sale, of course!)

I think this picture will look great against the wall color...so glad I found it!
