The Oklahoma wildflowers are finally in bloom, waving their white flags of a passed Spring ('11).
On these days, where the seasons start to shift, I can't bring myself to spend a second longer than I need to doing anything but my list of lazy Summer promises: watering holes, picking flowers, cut-offs, watermelon, patio nights, the hammock, bare feet, and my garden.
I will be right back. For now, I need a few more days to give proper welcome to Summer 2011.
Here's to you.
PS, Melissa over at Dear Baby is on a little break from her blog to enjoy these first sweet weeks with baby Arlo, and is featuring a few guest posts. I blogged over there, last week: Life With Elodie.

Watermelon, summertime, patio nights, warm weather...it's all wonderful. Enjoy your life and do your thing.
Life first, blog second. That's always been my mantra. We're all here whenever you are :)
Hey Aura, it is the best you can do! :) Enjoy the Summer! (I do the same here in Israel)
Sounds like a Bliss List to me, especially from the other side of this round world.

I agree! Except we have little signs of summer here, still off and on rain in northern cali..it's so depressing...I can't wait for full on sunny days!
Enjoy the changing season!
I know i'm jealous!!!
"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." ~Ada Louise Huxtable
wonderful shots :)keep them coming
i don't blame you one bit! breathtaking pictures.
That first shot is stunning! Enjoy the starting of summer :)
Enjoy it!
Hi Aura!! I just want to leave you a quick note to say that I DO LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!! I open it the 1st thing in the morning together with my e-mail. It is part of my morning ritual! Thank you so much for being there and for filling up my day with joy!!! Sorry for the poor english! I huge huge kiss from Portugal!
Summer? Wish we had the temps of summer here in Cali.... Looks like the baby weight has disappeared... :)
Hi, I have read your blog for about a year and I love that you are real and you keep it real. Taking time "away" from the computer is refreshing!!!
I agree--enjoy. It is one of my favorite times of the year...spent outdoors with the people I love.
Enjoy :)
Unless you've got some of your life to share, you can't blog! It's been raining here, so it looks equisite but also incredibly wet outside my window. I'm so happy that you have patio-weather, perfect for spitting watermelon seeds, walking barefoot, and tending to the garden. I'm doing all that, just in the interludes between showers.
This is exactly how I feel when summer-time rolls around. Enjoy it!
sounds amazing...enjoy!
hello aura! i have tried looking up but i dont think you have answered it. sorry if you have but i wanted to know which camera tripod do you use?
thanks a lot!
I love the time in between seasons! Right now we're getting used to wearing pants again, right as you're busting out your shorts. Oklahoma in spring time looks lovely. xx
xoxo, blue sky's and some ice cream!!! You go girl!

&, even back then, yr photos were quite amazing. !
Hello Aura,
Thank you always, for sharing yourself completely with your followers! Your words are so lovely and i admire your photography. I hope to gain the courage to shoot my canon in manual mode one day! Your baby Elodie is such a little doll. I followed you over from the Bump forum and i am so glad i did. By the way, our daughters share the same birthday. Cheers! <3
what pretty pictures! enjoy the start to summer!
I adore summer.
Ditto. Enjoy your summer, Aura! (But dont forget the gardening stories. : ) )
I know this is your most favorite time of year. Enjoy it to the fullest and take lots of pictures to share when you return. Alabama has already turned on her HOTTEST days for us. We went straight from lovely spring to HOT HOT SUMMER over night. Stay cool sweetheart! ox
Enjoy your first summer with Elodie! Can't wait to read about your adventures together.
PS, I was very excited to see that Lauren Conrad's beauty blog used one of your photos today! You're moving on up in the world ;) I will be first in line when your beautiful pictures and words inevitably make their way into a book, and I will tell everyone I know, "I 'knew' her when she was just a wee Livejournal blogger".
enjoy your summer and your baby girl! i'm so excited to keep reading about your adventures and seeing your gorgeous photos! have a wonderful weekend.
Ah, I just love the first few days of summer. In Florida we've been feeling like summer for days!
I was looking through your old gardening posts and you mentioned having a big collection of dresses/skirts. Where do you like to get them?
Thanks for sharing the adventures! Love it!
you get more and more lovely every time i read a new blog from you. your words are so delicious to drink up.
i can't wait for lazy summers, soaking up the sunlight and making new, sweet memories.
enjoy!
