{floating away......}

staying cool requires eating
lots of these

and spending time here

There's a time in each year
That we always hold dear,
Good old summertime......
Red Shields, lyrics.."In the Good Old Summertime {1902}



The only way to cool off this weekend
is a float in the lake
{image....my daughter and her friends}


Hope you are enjoying your weekend...


It's a hot one here...
so I will be floating
and eating Popsicles
all weekend long...
please come join me!
{i have a pink floaty with your name on it}


What's your favourite Popsicle?
mine....raspberry {and root beer}

Magpie's Mumblings said...

A popsicle from the store would have to be either orange or lime. Homemade would have to be raspberry.

Martina said...

I love root beer and cherry. Wish I could come and claim that tube for floating, sounds so refreshing.

glee said...

I'd like to float in a very clear blue water with a mango-flavor Popsicle :)

Drawn to The Sea said...

That first photo... you are quite the stylist. I swear, you could make a mushroom popsicle look good.

My Passport to Style said...

Hi Koralee, that water looks such a vivid shade of blue it almost seems like you might be in one of the old colour movies like the wizard of oz!My fave would have to be cherry with plenty of blosson in it,to have fun swirling round in my pink ring, what fun!! Enjoy the sunshine. Hugs- Sharon xxxxx

Maria said...

Good Morning, Koralee!
Yes, today for me will be a day to refresh...
Chris is home from camping...he and Jason had an awesome time! They saw many meteorites... I got to see one on Tues night... It was bright and fast and caught my breath!
Dad feels up to going to church this morning... we'll need lots of "lead time" though...

A slow and easy pace for me today~ just like tubing on a lazy river ♥
thank you for that refreshing vision to keep in my head today ~ you're such a love!
*happy Sunday to you and your family*
~Maria

I Love Pretty Little Things said...

Marcia

Kirsty Vittetoe said...

Lovely images, there is this popsicle from Breyers that I need to try, it looks just like a iccy stick of fruits! I bet it is good!
It looks like fun on that float in the lake, specially hot summer weather like this!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and wish you a great week ahead!

Monica said...

Raspberry!!!!!! Second choice lemon. But it's SO cold over here that I banished icecream and anything from the fridge, and I'm drinking ALOT of HOT tea instead! :(((
Your images are a feast for the eyes and your words always make me smile... Thank you, Koralee!!

Monicaxo.

Sewn With Grace said...

Oh to be young again...they look like they're having so much fun!

Sue said...

I only wish there was a lake I could jump into today...or a pool in my backyard! My favorite...rootbeer, not always easy to find. When I was a kid they made rootbeer Koolaide. My mom would freeze it in ice cube trays and we would eat big glasses of the ice cubes with a spoon...oh, the memories!

Joyti said...

I am so jealous! We're having a really cool summer here...the coldest one on record in my entire lifetime (more than my lifetime actually)...warm golden sunshine and cool blue water sound so wonderful.

Stickhorsecowgirls said...

I like 'em all. I remember fighting over banana-flavored ones as a child but no longer crave them so much. What I really love is a dreamsicle--those orange and vanilla jobs. Ummmm! C.

Arti said...

Anonymous said...

That must have been a great weekend! Mine was great as well, with even a open air movie at Saturday night!

My fave popsicle is orange or raspberry. (but I'm afraid summer is over yet here, so no cooling down with popsicles booo!) :)

Have a nice new week!

xoxo

Unknown said...

Ahh yes, I love the rootbeer ones...and lime too!! Hope you did infact stay cool...it's been terribly hot here too! Happy Monday Koralee!!!

Unknown said...

I love those berry popsicles! It is the perfect summer treat. And you have NO idea how wonderful sitting in a pink floaty on the lake sounds right about now .... but, alas, it will have to remain a day dream!

Looks like a wonderful time! xo

Gloria said...

Love...love..love that blue water!! The popsicles are pretty sweet too! My favs are rootbeer, and Dole fruit lemon bars are a so yummy second! :)
