Summer - season of hail and STORMS.........that's what I hate. But would love to win this wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSummer - The smell of fresh grass after a summer rainstorm, the clarity of the air AND the smell of roses!!! Along with the sounds of children having fun in a paddling pool.... I Love those about Summer!! Like Maureen, I'd love to win as well... but an early Congratulations to the eventual Winner!! LOL
ReplyDeleteAh....summer and the living is easy.
ReplyDeleteI love that I have no schedules in the summer, so I'm pretty much free to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I hate that because I have no schedule, time just seems to get away from me! Give-aways are so much fun. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love the summer sunshine and the light that comes with it, but not the high heat. Thank you for the opportunity to enter your give away. My email address is patdtats at juno dot com.
ReplyDeleteI love the longer summer days, not too hot and humid though. Roses being my favourite flower, are the best in the summer months. Thank you Sally, for your generosity.
ReplyDeleteI love summer vacation with the kids, but the heat in Texas is brutal!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your milestone. What I hate about the summer is the high heat. We live in the desert and suppose to get up to 110 degrees F, along with dry lighting.
ReplyDeleteI wish summer was not so hot. (Our air conditioning broke down and gave me a renewed respect for our ancestors, who had none!)
ReplyDeleteThe rosewood intrigues me! Thank you for the opportunity.
Ohhh a new shuttle would be nice!!!! I DO NOT like summer! We do not get along at all. Thank You
ReplyDeleteSummer sun, fun and bbqs with my family!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the summer fun give away!!

Summer means VACATION for this teacher. Love it! susiearnholt@writeme.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! Summer? Oh I love the warmth and the light, even though both can be a bit excessive in this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteSummer is a great time of year and much too short. I live close to the mountains and that cuts our growing time, but I do enjoy the many fruits and veggies fresh from garden to plate.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the giveaway. I would LOVE that rosewood shuttle. :-) Summer....a season of extremes. I'm not at ALL fond of the heat, miserably high humidity, increased air pollution, and insects, especially the ones that bite, sting, or sneak into the house somehow. On the other hand, all that heat, humidity, and pollution is a WONDERFUL excuse to stay indoors with a huge assortment of colorful threads, beads, shuttles, and beautiful patterns and TAT, and I truly enjoy THAT part of summer. I love the longer daylight hours, too. [trompeter914 ....at.... hotmail (dot) com]

Only one thing about summer? Sorry, can't do! In no particular order....
ReplyDeleteThe long, long days (daylight)
Sitting on my patio, surrounded by flowers, listening to the fountain
Break from school
Spending time with my daughters and husband.
Lunch for more than 23 minutes
Time to love my family by cooking wonderful meals that we can then eat on the patio, laughing and enjoying each other.
Thank you for the reminders of what I love!
Please enter my name to the drawing.
ReplyDeleteWe wait and wait for summer and then it is to hot to get outside and we wish for winter again.

What I like about summer: Longer days! This summer I will be working in the garden more. I've also joined a walking group that hikes 3 miles each day.
ReplyDeleteI like summer especially because, this is time of bithdays in my family. I have birthday in June, my husband in August, and my son will be born soon:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice giveaway:)
Summer is longer days of sunshine, sitting on the deck, being outside with my tatting.
ReplyDeleteI adore the birdsong of summer: my favourite sound.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 400th post, Sally!
Fox : )
What I like about summer is I can be out side hate being inside all of the time. Love the shuttle.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 400th blog post :). The post shuttle is gorgeous! I love summer as it means it's nearly Christmas time = spending time with family and extended family :).
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible milestone ... congratulations :-))
ReplyDeleteI hate Indian Summers when they are muggy & make heavy weather.
I Do, however, enjoy the longer days & better light when I get more time to tat . And can simultaneously enjoy enjoy the European leg of tennis season ;-P
Midsummer and the bright nights, birds twitter, colorful flowers, berries, fruits and enough sunlight to tat.
ReplyDeleteI live near San Francisco in California. So compared to someplace it's summer here all the time :) But, my favorite part of our summer, is when, after a blisteringly hot day, the fog rolls in off the ocean. Blanketing everything with a soft, delicious coolness...It's our marvelous natural air conditioner!
ReplyDeleteI live in Woodstock Ontario, and our weather is highly variable. We can go from cool (18C) to sweltering (32C) in a day. We're also surrounded by the Great Lakes on 3 sides so we also have humidity, making the hot days feel even worse. I love being able to just slip on sandals, grab my purse and go during the warm months. I hate the heat waves with the oppressive humidity.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if my comment earlier went through. it went off the screen as I click 'publish'. Here we go again (please delete this is it duplicates).
ReplyDeleteMalaysian is a very humid country. When the sun is high and I am outdoors, I can easily sweat and my skin feel sticky. When I am indoor, the heat is not so bad and I don't sweat so much. I like to look out the window at the sunny day and at the leaves in the trees swaying with the breeze. That is the closest that I get to remind me of summer evenings in England. I miss that a lot.
Happy 400th blog posts!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a summer giveaway?! It's summer here (in Singapore) all year round, and it's load of fun -- in the sun and indoors. Just because the weather permits, we have awesome water activities and pretty plants to enjoy. You know how lucky we are! :D
Congratulations on your 400th post. Greetings from Sunny Singapore ! Its practically summer all year round here, love the sunshine but not the humidity : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this milestone.
ReplyDeletein summer i love the long days and vacation but i hate mosquitoes....
Thank you for the opportunity

Summer... long days, more light, that's what I like.
ReplyDeleteBut heat... I can't stand high temperatures any more due to Uhthoff's syndrome.
So burying indoors and cool down is my method. Perfect time for tatting!!! :-)
Of course, it's winter here in Australia, but the chilly weather has me thinking longingly of warm summer nights. One of my favorite things to do in summer is to chase and catch fireflies. There are few things more thrilling than running after a moving ball of light, losing it, then seeing the yellow flash inside your cupped hands and feeling the creepy tickle of the bug as it flies against your fingers...
ReplyDeleteSummer fun - picnics in the park with kiddies, long walks and bbqs! Congrats on your 400th post and happy summer! Thank you for so generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSummer time of longer days and hot sticky weather! I love the fresh foods available during summer- sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches and grapes. Summer fruits and veggies taste so much better. You can keep the bugs though!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 400 posts!
Congratulations! I hope you post at least 400 more.
ReplyDeleteI love that school is out and that life is more relaxed. I also like the longer days.
I hate the heat and humidity in the summer.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Summer in Wisconsin is cooler near the lake! This is a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMany of us share the same likes and dislikes about summer. I very much love the longer daylight hours and lovely warmer weather, but also dislike high heat and humidity - and bugs! (but I am a little sad that we've turned the corner to 'shorter' days already) . However, what I really dislike is the commercial push to start getting ready for Christmas! I want to enjoy each summer day and also do not want be pummeled by 'back to school ads' (starting after July 4!) I don't remember this 'push of the seasons' happening when I was young, or even when I was in my 30s in the '70s. But it seems to be something that can't be changed!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 400th post! And it's so nice of you to brighten up our days with a lovely giveaway! Although I usually use only bobbin shuttles, I've discovered that a post shuttle comes in quite handy for certain applications in place of finger tatting! Very efficient!

DeleteIf you have time to answer, why do you only use bobbin shuttles, I don't care for them, and what is finger tatting and why do you need to use it.
Watching my girls play and the smell of fresh mowed grass!

ReplyDeleteI love summer, the wamth of the sun, the birds singing in the morning and the frogs croaking at night.
I love the longer days and the sound of sprinklers on lawns...I can handle the heat if I've got a sprinkler to run through every now and then! Congratulations on the 400th post and thank you for the nice giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteLove summer days just not the hot hot ones... love the smells the colors and sounds, it makes me smile
