Endless Summer

It's still early enough in the season to feel like summer will last forever.

And it's a good morning to let all the scheduling fall by the wayside over a slow cup of coffee.

I have my favorite vintage tablecloth covering the patio table.

It makes me forget anything else that may be waiting. You have to have at least ONE of those mornings a week, don't you?

Gardening in our climate requires a lot of diligent watering. So decor takes first place, and the actual GARDEN, second.

The English have charming little linen covers to slip over pots used on tables. (For an example, see the header for the blog les cotrions )

I have mimicked this with a tea cloth folded and tied in back. The bottom corner is tucked under, and voila!

Why can't every day start with a cheery bit of hand made lace?

In an hour it will be impossible to linger here even with an umbrella overhead.

But our little creeping vine manages to get through the hot days without too much fuss!


Thanks for popping over! Ciao! for now!
