promise of summer...

this week has shown the first taste of real sunshine, lighter evenings, and bright mornings.  despite a few rain clouds and downpours i have faith that the future holds warm sunny days filled with happy hearts and lemonade.   summer is here and that means more picnics.  to me there is nothing more fun than to grab

a big soft blanket, a good summer read, some specially packaged food and your beverage of choice - that could be homemade lemonade or a nice bottle of wine.  easy peasy if you plan ahead. (planning ahead is always a challenge for me)  then at the end of the day go home grab your ready made basket and head to a calm spot -  a big grassy field, a nearby lake, a beach,  whichever place you feel  the best at.  because i am fussy i don't like plastic i stick to smaller glass dishes and real cutlery, with of course wine glasses or mason jars to drink from.  don't forget the potted candles.   after you enjoy your food you can devour pages from your latest summer read, then wrap yourself up in the big blanket and check out the stars. these little moments they are life, enjoy every one.

love sent, xo
