Despite the cats' incessant needs to cuddle, summer has arrived and is in full swing. I'm contemplating moving into my bath tub permanently (or installing a pool for my bed). Lying sprawled out on my floor listening to the neighbors mow their lawn yet again (can you believe they had to start in March?!) I'm attempting to kick this early summer off with a bit of optimism. As such I thought I'd put together an extended 'these things go together' list.

Girls in Trucks is an awesome read, period. With it’s summery southern setting and wonderful humor, it’s perfect for this time of year.
I love any excuse to wear a dress and summer with it’s warm weather has a perfect excuse every day.
Remembering to pick up a new pair of gardening gloves or hiking boots is never hard, finding a good alternative to chemical laden bug sprays is, which is why I love citronella candles.
Green smoothies, I honestly can’t say enough about them. They’re my favorite summer food, ranging from something as simple as kale, coconut oil and a bit of orange juice to something a bit more complicated, they’re all amazing. One of my favorites at the moment can be found here.
Over the last couple of years I’ve developed a bad habit of eating through strawberries by the bowl. It’s a delicious if expensive habit I indulge because I only buy mine in season, a season which doesn’t last nearly long enough. To help my strawberries stick around a bit longer I’ll occasionally dress them up, making a pie or topping them with a bit of homemade nutella.
I discovered The Staves when they toured last year with The Civil Wars and have recently fallen madly for them. There’s something homey and warm about their harmonies, a sound that at the same time is somehow airy and breezy like a nice summer wind. They’re the perfect soundtrack to hazy summer days.
