Summer



It's summertime
with
 it's dry heat
and 
I would not have it any other way.

I love the long, slow, lazy days 
that
are perfect for so many 
lovely things


Like

butterflies

garden tomatoes
pretty drinks and paper umbrellas
ripe figs

All of these things make me happy
especially
the figs.

I wait all year for them
and
this year they are just heavenly.

  11. We long for dry heat here - it's been nothing but humidity, rain and high temperatures for over two weeks now!

    The figs look lovely. I love a good, fresh fig.

    Thanks so much for joining in this week!
