I love life lists. I never make one though because I always seem to get overwhelmed. Maybe a seasonal list is something I should try...starting with the coming autumn.

SE'LAH... said...

I'm glad that you are crossing off those accomplishments. yay!

love ya.

Puna said...

Deb said...

It never occurred to me that you were shy. You are such a generous giving person online...think that your focus is outward here! I had blueberry pancakes for brunch today...mmmmmm!

Jakki said...

combing your curls out would be fun if you had someone to help out...find a nice sunny spot, nice breeze, warm sun, lots to talk about and lot's of laughter...

Char said...

i love your list...i need to make the kind of list that i can cross off

Marilyn said...

Good ones to cross off the list. I am happy to help you out this very week. Oh and a black butterfly, how delightful. Mine was a hummingbird and his picture will be on the blog this week.

Christina said...

stephanie* i try and make a list each season. i agree, way to overwhelming otherwise. : )

Cathi said...

I am not a big list maker but I realized a life long dream by going to London and Paris this month...will look into making a list..haha...Have a gorgeous day, my friend! xxoo :)

Jane Flanagan said...

Breakfast for dinner is my fave!

Meri said...

natty. said...

Beautiful, as always.
Sometimes, I feel like I need to make a list of my lists. lol.

Mary Jo from TrustYourStyle said...

How that black butterfly brings back a childhood memory of finding one and saving it to show my dad...just working a lot and getting out and mingling and meeting people this summer. It's been good. Hope you are well my dear friend :)

amelia said...

Hi Christina! Oh I do love crossing items off a list, whether it is my list I make for the year, the season or the day! Hope you are well!

Suvarna said...

these are gorgeous! love the way the light catches the bloom on these plump berries and the beautiful texture!
xo

Sharon said...

Those blueberries coming out of that cup are just lovely. Don't know if I've crossed one thing off of my summer list. I'll have to think on that a while.

slommler said...

My word for the year is "TRY" and I have been giving it a go every turn I make. Your photos are wonderful!!
Hugs

Marcie said...

Love the colors here..and the textures are absolutely perfect!!!

Birdie said...

yum, those blueberries, I could eat them ALL the time :-) how did you take the first steps on not being so shy? I need help with that :-))
happy day, hugs!

spread your wings said...

oh these photos are gorgeous. make me hungry for those blueberries i bought last night.
sadly i didn't get to cross off meeting blogger friends. i want to meet so many of you. you don't strike me as someone who is shy - just someone who has a soft gentle spirit. i however could use some help in that department.

Denise | Chez Danisse said...

The best crossing off so far has been booking our trip to Italy. We'd decided it would be wise to wait and go later and then had a change of heart. I'm glad.

Hannah said...

Mmm, blueberries.
I've crossed off writing more often, and learning more about business and entrepreneurship. So much more left on my list :)

Oliag said...

Hello sweet Christina!
I just love these photos...and the one item I can cross off my summer list is learning how to apply textures to photos...it will still take me a long time and a lot of practice to get good at it tho:)

Tracy said...

I crossed three things off my bucket list in one trip: saw San Francisco, watched a baseball game at AT&T Park, and drove down the Pacific Coast Highway with the top down!

Relyn said...

I'm steadily plonking away at my BIG list. But, what I really want to do is the one I don't think I'll manage. Meet 3 blog friends I've never met before. Lucky you!

elizabeth said...

Those textures go so beautifully with those blueberries!

I don't think I've looked at my list in a year or so. I should really pull it out. Possibly "work for myself" was on there, so I have definitely crossed that one off this summer. Yay.

Jessie said...

your blueberries look yummy. and i love breakfast for dinner, especially after working all day.

i crossed off taking my son to college...

warm smiles,

Kim Klassen said...

waving HI... loving your blueberry images... and missing you....

love your list... xxo, kim

Bee said...

These gorgeous pictures remind me of Victoria -- a magazine that I used to love. I wanted to live in those pages. (I get the same feeling from reading your blog.)

I like to have breakfast for dinner from time to time. My children love the line in Juno when the boy's mother says, "But it's your favorite. Breakfast for dinner." They used to think we were the only crazy people in the world who did that. :)

My Castle in Spain said...

Having breakfast for dinner is great! like being a kid again...your blueberries look so yummy yumy....
:-)

Sarah said...

Just been catching up Christina and see lots of good things. The cake below-mmmm-and you have the same vanilla extract as me-delicious isn't it?! Love your blueberry pictures and I am glad you have crossed some things off your list. Funny how bloggers can be shy isn't it? It is such fun to meet friends in real life though, so worth initial nerves! I see above that you had fun.

Chris said...

Ooooh Christina these blueberries reminded me, sadly, I didn't have any blueberries from my favorite local farm this summer. Bummer! But yours look so delish, now I know there's a spoon around here somewhere.

smith kaich jones said...

i am loving these blueberry images and thinking about those in my refrigerator. see what power you have?

my summer list wrote itself daily - i'd forgotten what i needed, but my heart knew and took care of me.

Jaime said...

Oh sweetie, the shy thing..I am so with you on that one. Each of those baby steps brings you more love. xoxo
