Pastel Summer


So long awaited, you'd think that SUMMER would have a hard time living up to the expectation. NOT!




Summer is the longest waking dream.





Weeks of meals al fresco.





A smooth and creamy succession of pastel days.





Friends and travel.




Rest and relaxation.




Summer brings all this and more to the table.





So many summer scented hours to come!





























































SUMMER . . . & WEEKEND . . .
Need I say more?
Ciao! for now!

    Seeing the sheets on the line just brought back the neatest memory! My G-Mom had long poles that would push the lines up higher so the sheets wouldn't touch the ground and we used to run through them:@)

    Are you certain you didn't run a Bed & Breakfast in a former life? Something tells me you might have. With your gracious hospitality and wonderful feeling of coziness, it just seems natural.
