Wow can’t believe it’s the end of July already! I thought I’d take a moment to look at some of the people and things that I’m Loving Lately-Summer Edition.
Loving Lately-Summer Edition
I know most of us have been having ridiculously hot and humid weather. I am not really loving running right now but I have been loving riding my bike and hot yoga. Oddly, the heat of a hot yoga class does not bother me but running outside is killing me lately. Go figure!!

I’m loving how amazing all of the fruits and vegetables are right now. I am loving pineapple & cantaloupe
I’m loving these great zucchini and squash I found at a farm stand. I’ve never seen green squash like this before.
I’m loving getting back to reading at night before bed. Currently, I am diving into the new Daniel Silva book. (affiliate link) This one is eerily representative of many of the current world events. Always a page turner. Also I am back to reading a real book instead of reading on a Kindle or Ipad.
I’m loving family time. With 2 teens, we are rarely all together anymore especially in the summer time. I am treasuring all these moments together. Last weekend, not only did we all go to Cirque Du Soliel together but we met my parents for dinner afterwards. They took their first selfie!
I’m loving coffee! Even though it’s hot as can be out there, I still drink hot coffee. Which reminds me, mark your calendars for next Saturday the 6th and join us for our Ultimate Coffee Date. Link up with me and my co hosts, Coco and Lynda, for our virtual coffee date.
What are you loving lately? Reading on a device or old fashioned book? Favorite summer veggie?
Linking up with Nicole
Ooohh, those squash look SO fun and delicious! Perfect for veggie pizzas!
Nothing beats family time!
Yes exactly! I can’t wait to grill them up
I’m loving my morning and midday/night smoothies! I’ve gotten so that I look forward to them in the morning (after my coffee of course!)
After coffee of course! Have a great weekend
I’m loving all the fresh veggies too! 🙂 Happy Friday!
They are so delicious aren’t they!?
The veggies have been so beautiful and delicious lately. The other day at the store I found the largest green peppers I have ever seen. I couldn’t resist getting them, and they inspired us to make stuffed peppers for dinner that night.
I know they are so good this year must have been all of that rain we had in the spring.
I’m def back to books. I go through phases, but I still really just love a book. I grew some HUGE patty pans like that yellow one! I need to make all the squash now 🙂
I’m hosting the Best of the Blogs linkup today! I hope you’ll come linkup your favorite posts of the month!
I keep forgetting about that let me find one to link up!
I’ve definitely been loving summer produce, too! This is just the best time of the year for fresh fruits and veggies!
It really is!
I both read on a device and a book (from the library). Haven’t gotten any books out of the library lately, though.
Asparagus is one of my favorites. Even as a kid!
Melons, too, except watermelon. The only good thing about having to put Gizmo into the laundry room for some part of every day is that I don’t have to deal with him begging when I eat cantaloupe!
I am all over cantaloupe this week eating it right out of there w a spoon 🙂
That’s funny about the hot yoga in the Summer. At least there isn’t that much of a difference in the temperature! And yay for having family time together 🙂 We’re going to see the Cirque du Soleil show tomorrow. I’m pretty excited about it.
It’s really quite good I am sure you will enjoy it. they are so talented
We’re all about pineapple and cantaloupe and peaches around here. My 13 year old son has gotten the cooking bug, so he’s been grilling pineapple and peaches on the grill. He has planted some veggies in what little yard we have. As for books, I have some easy read, short novels on my kindle, but personal development books need to be the real thing, because I read with pin in hand and underline. Then if I need to reference something, I can flip back through it. I have never gotten the whole highlighter and bookmarking thing on electronic devices. I’m old-fashioned I guess 😉
I am old fashioned too with books just seems to make more sense. It’s fun to cook with the kids and can’t beat the grilled fruits.
I always read old fashioned books…. I still even check books out from the library… although some books that I know I’m going to want to keep, I buy.
Reading on a kindle just seems not real to me. I like to disconnect from the electronics at night.
The hot weather is killing my runs as well! It is a great garden year though and mine is going bonkers. I’ve been blogging (lots) less and really enjoying time with my kids this summer. I’ll read on a device but I do prefer a good old fashioned book!
I can’t wait to have a real garden in our new house because every vegetarian needs her own garden.
Mmm…pineapple is really sweet right now!!
It is really good!
omg that pineapple and mango combination looks INSANELY good. yum.
All about the fruit lately!
I am loving open water swimming which really can only happen during the summer for me! I can’t get enough of lakes and oceans!
I love swimming but not open water! I am such a wimp
I need a juicy summer novel to dive into! I am loving all the summer fruits! It’s a delicious summer!
This book is a page turner but more of a thriller if you like that type of book. It’s very well written
I would much rather read a book or a magazine than a screen. And ALL the veggies. I cannot get enough!
Yes me too! Both
I’ve read a few Daniel Silva books – always good! And I’m a hot coffee drinker, too – no matter what. Love that yoga pic of you! Looking strong!
Thanks girlfriend! Have a great weekend
I took hot yoga earlier this summer but now it is so darn hot out I do t thk I’d be loving that when it is 100 degrees outside. Never a bad time for coffee though. I drink hot coffee all yr long.
I like reading on my iPad. The extra light and large print is a bonus. What can I say?
For some reason it kind of makes my eyes tired. I like the feel of a real book
I still prefer reading a book over a device. Zucchini is my favorite summer veggie.
Me too on both!
I am reading mostly on my Kindle but I admit I broke down recently and bought a book with pages. It felt great !
I just like something about holding a real book! Hope you are having a great vacation
I am loving family time this summer too! And that my son like to fix dinner – such a treat!
Well that’s a treat that he likes to cook now too 🙂
Getting back into Yoga is a great, especially when it’s too hot outside for running!
Yes I totally agree!
Your pineapple and cantaloupe look beautiful! I usually do not love hot weather running, but I must be used to it because it’s just not bothering me much.
That is great that you have adapted so well. This summer it is really bothering me
LOVE it! Looks like you’re having a ton of fun 🙂
I love coffee and I too drink hot no matter how hit it gets, I need my coffee!
Yes me too! It just tastes better that way
The farmer’s market veggies are really great right now! I am have been reading old fashioned booked lately, although I do have a couple of books on my kindle that I need to read. Love the family selfie! 🙂
There is something really great about reading a real book isn’t there
Summer is the best season for fruits and veggies. Yum!
Definitely!
So great that you have been able to spend lots of time with the family. My parents ended up following me down here and now we do family dinners once a week. I love it.
Once a week is perfect! Enjoy your family time too 🙂
