my favorite color is shiny

summer solstice...

this summer 2010 i am grateful for...

1. sitting outside on quilts. preferably in a sweet, cotton day dress.

2. streamers in trees, and when the wind rushes through them.

3. old, southern, delapidated barns caving in on themselves.

4. playing with flowers. in a car. on a ladder. in an arbor. in a field. in the rain. on the side of the road. in a box with a fox. here and there and everywhere

5. drinking delicious wine from north georgia vineyards after a hard days work.

6. long weekends at the lake with my husband and his family.

7. ridiculously campy, road trip pit-stops(preferably in a penske truck).

this summer is starting off to be one of my favorites yet. even though it is unbearably, criminally, sweat-stinging into-your-eyes, sweltering, no relief-kind of hot this summer. which really is a better excuse to reach for that second glass of (semi)sweet tea.
