A Country Summer

Every time summer comes around, I start wishing I lived in the South or the countryside. Yes I'm sure it's ridiculously hot and I would probably melt, but there is just something about the thought of a picnic or BBQ accompanied by some sweet tea, pulled pork, gingham table cloths and peach pie that gets me every year. Throw in a little Zac Brown Band and the picture couldn't be more perfect. I've put together a few images to conjure up my day dream...maybe it's time for a road trip?

These adorable and ingenious party photos are from A Little Sussy. So clever!

Of course, Country Living always has something inspirational to contribute:

This last one from Tartlette actually reminds me that we have our own peach tree at home...and it's almost time for it to start bearing some lovely fruit! Can't wait for July.
