Summer Time and the Decorating Is Easy

It sure seems like summer time here in East Tn today. Temperatures have been and are in the 90's. We have already broken records. It is nice and cool Through My Back Door and I am glad you stopped in. Instead of coffee today we'll have a glass of this.

Heavenly tea. It is so good on a hot day like this. I hope you like it. Lets sit and talk and enjoy the AC. I want to thank Adsgram for reminding me of the name of the song about the tree, in my next to last post. The name was Honey and Bobby Goldsboro sang it. Thanks Lynne.
I love summer because decorating is so minimal. You don't need a lot to make your home feel summery and fresh. For me its geraniums that do it. I also love flags. It seems a lot of us do. Is it a prim thing? Could be. We primmies seem to like the same things. I have been trying hard to do less is more. Here is my table. It is very simple and I like it.

I really like the large measure the geranium is in. Of course if its wood I love it.lol

A shelf in the bathroom. Another geranium.

 Another shelf in the bathroom.

The front door. Really simple.

The 100 year old smoke house. I love this old tobacco basket.

Debbie's back porch table. I like this. Do you? It is so much fun to decorate so simply for the summer months. When fall comes I will be ready to do it up big. How about you. I want to show you my latest pinkeep from Deb Peterson. I love her work and told her I was addicted to them.lol

Isn't this the neatest? I love it.
Before I leave to day I want to share a surprise birthday gift. If you haven't read Thru Nana's Window blog, please do. You can find it on my sidebar. Angela Phillips is one of the nicest people in blogland. She has a daughter and a granddaughter and writes a lot about their adventures. She is an excellent craftsman too. I was so surprised to find a box from her after I had posted about my birthday. She sent me a wonderful felt candle and some hang tags for every season. I was shocked. What a nice surprise. Here it is on the mantle.

I am enjoying it so much. Thank you Angela.
While we are at the mantle,lol, I'll show you my dream house. I would need one a little bigger though. Well a lot bigger!

This a Claire Murray bird house, designed after the one she grew up in on Nantucket. It was a surprise birthday gift from my s-i-l(it was his idea) and Deb. I could live in a house like this. couldn't you? It will be going out in the yard soon.
Enjoy these carefree summer days with those you love and love what you do. Life is too short not to.
I am so glad you came Through My Back Door today where life is good.
