My bookcases are for books, books, books! And are always full and usually overflowing. We are once again reaching a place where another bookcase is needed. :) My dream house has a room with wall-to-wall built-in white bookcases, white door frames and window frames, and lots of windows looking out on a large yard. The floor would be dark wood with a bright throw rugs. Low back couches and a coffee table. Several simple stand lamps. A CD player. That's it. That would be my room.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056018448109689782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-55542417003640210812008-08-15T10:26:00.000-06:002008-08-15T10:26:00.000-06:00Those peonies are beautiful.

You're my kind of woman! :)<BR/><BR/>I love to go to the farmer's markets and linger over the beautiful produce. That makes me extremely happy! <BR/><BR/>And I love to go to the pond and swim with the ducks. And go for long walks in the woods with my children, and take pictures and collect treasures along the way. Just wonderful!

I love posts like this, where you get a glimpse into another's life.... not just the physical aspects of their home and belongings, but a glimpse into their psyche and what makes them HAPPY! <BR/><BR/>Yay for D'Arcy! (waving pom poms...)<BR/><BR/>Let's see... what has made ME happy this Summer:<BR/><BR/>1) time with my kids.... a FULL Summer home with them for the first time EVER. (Granted, I had to squeeze work in and that BALANCE was a daily challenge, but still... the time with them was wonderful.)<BR/>2) Summer fruits (blueberries and cherries especially).... I could eat my weight in those... and I may have done so this Summer)<BR/>3) 2 trips to the beach.... possibly 3 if we go Labor Day...<BR/>4) Our puppy Diva. Destructive, boisterous, pee-and-poop-filled little Love Monster.<BR/>5) My wonderful friends - I have such a great network of wonderful, special people who make my soul sing.<BR/>6) Good music, good food, good writing.<BR/>7) Last, but definitely not least, just chilling out pool-side (or "couch-side" with Hubster and our 2 kids...)HWHLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294913024458099382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-37415994685835843372008-08-13T14:00:00.000-06:002008-08-13T14:00:00.000-06:00Kia ora D'Arcy, Well I can't write I have enjoyed ...Kia ora D'Arcy,<BR/> Well I can't write I have enjoyed THIS summer at all, as it is winter here in the southern hemisphere.

I too, adore summer nights, with the sky in all its magical glory, the warm breezes and the light scent of beauty. Oh, how I love this time of year!skippylongjackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183959171832362220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-11401820094244157712008-08-13T08:09:00.001-06:002008-08-13T08:09:00.001-06:00Oh!

I wish I had one that was as lovely, but I am in transition now... oh well, that just means I will be able to decorate and nest when we find the right place.<BR/><BR/>Happiness this summer? I realize that it has gone hand in hand with the blues. The cycles are getting tighter, or maybe they are happening simultaneously.<BR/><BR/>So, aside/in conjunction with the funks, I have really been developing my creativity-- Ohhh.... I wonder if those two have anything to do with each other? Does a light funk feed our creativity? I don't know.<BR/><BR/>Okay, so happies, my art has been growing and I have received a lot of positive feedback. My blog completely took off. It's hard to remember how I was writing into the void only a few months ago. My kids make me happy, even though they also make me exhausted, they are so full of beauty and joy and wonder. Taking photos make me happy. Reconnecting with people, even if only on Facebook. Being able to help friends. My brother's wedding and the beautiful mountains. Watching the kids grow stronger, faster, smarter, every minutes. Hanging with my uncle, the kids love that too. Getting new art supplies. Paying attention to the beauties as they pass. I've really got to get back on my happy pages, which I have been sadly neglecting.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-18545896892538765272008-08-13T07:28:00.000-06:002008-08-13T07:28:00.000-06:00Okay, so my summer has been work work work!

I homeschool my little ones, so the day after we completed our curriculum, I got going on all of my photo marketing collateral, getting hooked up with events as the official (read: free) photographer, filling up the portfolio with beautiful families and babies and flowers, oh my... plus all the learning I've been doing on the tech side of this blogosphere... I feel like summer sort of wooshed by! <BR/><BR/>But we have things a little different here in San Diego. It's pretty nice weather, but it doesn't get really warm until September and October, just in time for all the tourists to give us back our beaches. (Thanks for the influx of cash... buh. bye. ) I woke up this morning and realized I hadn't been surfing since spring. The water is tasty warm. I'll have to go out this week...Sugar Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350485179045324078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-34305277136951153152008-08-12T21:39:00.000-06:002008-08-12T21:39:00.000-06:00Knowing I can have a great summer alone makes me h...Knowing I can have a great summer alone makes me happy.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611916863884242850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-8875426673395401532008-08-12T20:24:00.000-06:002008-08-12T20:24:00.000-06:00i love, love, love the shots of your house, d'arce...i love, love, love the shots of your house, d'arce! gorgeous flowers, and i can tell you really have a flare for decorating.<BR/>i'm so glad you're out of your funky junk. let the sunny days begin!<BR/>i think i might copy you and do a post on my blog about things that have made me happy this summer!johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903144540678766411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-8612719360711354402008-08-12T18:35:00.000-06:002008-08-12T18:35:00.000-06:00Two things that made me happy just looking at your...Two things that made me happy just looking at your blog: Peonies and White Dishes!<BR/><BR/>I had an obsession with peonies for my wedding and think they are the most beautiful flower.
