The sunshine was like powdered gold

looks delicious-i made strawberry ice cream this morning :)
have fun at your ice cream social! :)
A delightful summer read is "The Lemon Jelly Cake" by Madeline Babcock Smith. There's quite a bit of sweet baking involved, as the title suggests, and if I recall correctly, even some homemade ice cream. You probably won't find it in your library unless you're in Illinois, as it is not a well-known book and is published by the University of Illinois Press, but I think it's worth the search. :)
Oh yum! I'm having such a hard time staying away from ice cream (due to the gestational diabetes), but as soon as this baby is born... I would love to be able to give suggestions on fun sumer reading, but lately all I read is academic... A blogger friend just suggested 4 fun summer readings though: http://amiusmie.blogspot.com/2012/06/recent-reads-summer-2012-part-two.html
That's a delicious pic! Waiting for summer here too :-)

A YEAR IN PROVENCE is what I love at this time, and for me, well, I read FRENCH NOVELS all summer. BUT WOMAN, YOU MADE IT. TWO MORE DAYS with the little ones? YIPEEEEEEEE this is a call for TWO CHERRIES ON TOP! I cannot get enough cherries in my system these days. They say they are good for arthritis and if that is true, then I just may never get it!! Oooooo how your photos speak volumes of sweet goodness!
OK, you are almost there my dear. You have done it, you will celebrate and those kids, if they are like ours, are going to be bouncing off the walls. Prepare!
Let us know what you will be reading!
OH....any poetry will do! LOVE! Anita
I can just imagine how wonderfully well that was received at your school.....what a lovely way you have of styling your photo...happy sunny week! I will be thinking of a good or two as well for summertime @the lake reading❤
sunshine was like powdered gold ... wow ... I really like that!
Yay .. summer! Always delightful!
my boy just got out yesterday and he was complaining he was the last of the last .. you have another week up there, eh? I will let him know♥ have a super fun summer!
Today is our official first day of summer vacation at our house. We're in the midst of a heatwave and I told my youngest son that he doesn't have to attend the half day of school today or the hour tomorrow. Our schools don't have air conditioning and it's going to be around 100 degrees and humid. YUCK!! Enjoy your ice cream social!! : )

what a fabulous way to end the year! Yum! I just started reading the Hunger Games... probably one of the lasyt people on earth to have just started but I was so into the 1st one I had to buy the 2nd while on vacation and finished the two in less than a week! Now I'm getting ready to purchase the third!
That looks delishious! Yay for one more week! {Smiles} xo Holly
Happy summer......summer love......Ria....xxx....
Those words are really lovely Koralee :-)! The ice cream social sounds delicious!
Can't help you out on the fun book list. I am reading 'That woman' at the moment about the life of Walllis Simpson. It is a good read, but not much fun. Sorry :-)!
Have a lovely day!

sorry no suggestions, but the picture looks delicious!! Have a great summer.
Your photo is making my mouth water!
Happy Summer to you!
Happy summer to you, too, my dear friend! Looks delicious!
I am currently rereading Jane of Lantern Hill by Lucy Maud Montgomery for the fourth time. It is the perfect early summer read as it chronicles the magical summers of discovery Jane has on Prince Edward Island. A slim volume so a quick read, but filled with Montgomery's trademark imagery and heartfelt storytelling.
I LOVE this photo Koralee. It sums up everything good about Summer...and am I ever happy that it's here.
sending hugs...
Well, I can't think of any books because right now all I can think about is ice cream! xo Diana
Love the pic, looks so fresh and delicious!
I like the sounds of the ice cream social! I do miss the licorice ice cream I use to get while in British Columbia..the only place I can get it here is in the next county, one ice cream shop by the seaside. I do miss the huge selection of ice creams we would get in Canada though..
Have a lovely weekend..

Blessings to you always dear ♥

Just a stroll by cherry lane here.....I had mine this morning!!! LOVE TO YOU TODAY MY DEAR! Anita
Happy Summer to you, Koralee. I hope it brings you many joys.
Smelled like roses and powdered gold on a grassy hillside!?!?!? Just like a dream I had once being in Heaven:)
You always share a glimpse of pure HEAVEN on earch my precious friend!
XO
Thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog. I came over here for a snoop too.... I love your photography and colours. I just want to bite into that cherry on top of that ice-cream!
Have a lovely weekend :)
I love the cherry and ice cream picture...so delicious. And I love the wonderful quotation, one I must write down and keep. I hope you have a wonderful ice cream social, and find lots of fun summer reading :)

Ooooo there is that cherry and I am going to STEAL IT!!!!! I cannot get enough of them this summer!
KORALEE! YOU DID IT! YOU SENT OFF THE KIDS????? Now it is just you teachers. WELL DONE MY DEAR, WELL DONE. I go back the first week of September as a substitute and I already have a couple of jobs lined up from my colleagues!!!
Well Koralee darlin', you are going to be let loose soon and you are going to sprinkle your magic everywhere, I know it. And you are now working on CHRISTMAS photos! I know what you mean about not having enough light. We had a SPARKLING day yesterday but was not ready to photograph some of my work. Today, CLOUDY! This is one wet summer.
OK, you are ready, set, GO to clean up your classroom and then you are free as a blue bird.........
OMG wish I jump into that picture!
An ice cream social is the perfect way to greet summer vacation. Oh and the image of sunshine as powdered gold is delightful.
Oh my gracious! cherry vanilla! Did you ever make cherry clafouti? So good, and those big sweet cherries are in right now. Maybe I'll put the recipe on my blog. Hope you had a great weekend! Love, Linda
Wow! Koralee this looks delicious and I can almost smell those cherries through the computer screen. One of my favorite ice-cream flavours :-)
Hope you are having a sunny week x
