“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.”
-Therese of Lisieux
Seattle Summer has arrived.
The dinners are outside
Entertaining comes with ease
The markets are loaded, like one of my favorites, the Farm Boat on Lake Union
With ole favorites and new discoveries, like kohlrabi…have you ever even heard of it?
“Bargain” deals like this heirloom seconds for $3.00 a pound. Wait a sec., that’s still expensive!
Making it easy and fun to “eat local” like this beautiful halibut dish my husband whopped up the other night.
Drink it in Seattle-ites, as these days are long, but not long enough. Our lush and beautiful summer has arrived!
Yippee, look what the UPS man had for us today!
Red & White transferware handed down from my dear Auntie.
Can’t wait to figure out how I’m going to display them. I’m thinking perfect touch for our newly white kitchen. Or breakfast nook in a future home.
Happy Holiday Weekend!
P.S. My phone shows 7 suns for the week ahead. Lots of goodness.
Everywhere around the world
They’re coming to America
Every time that flag’s unfurled
They’re coming to America
Got a dream to take them there
They’re coming to America
Got a dream they’ve come to share
They’re coming to America
Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we’ll say our grace
Freedom’s light burning warm
They’re coming to America
Today, today, today, today, today!
Love you Neil Diamond. Love you M&G, Love you America!
Happy 4th of July.
Would smell as sweet.
The roses in Nantucket take the word “prolific” to new levels
The colors can take your breath away
Wafts of Rosa Rugosa are simply intoxicating
Climbing roses on speed it would seem.
Lattice on rooftops give the roses more room to climb…
PS. for the first day in a week, we woke up to the sun shining. I may now begin to start blogging about Seattle Summer. We have been patiently waiting. For summer that is, there are great expectations you know. Oh Shakespeare and Dickens your words are still with us.
Welcome to my p.o.v. of how to live a life well. Under the construct of 7 areas that I feel passionately about: Fashion, Fun, Food, Family, Friends, Philanthropy (aware not an f, but close enough) and Furnishing. Yes, quite the array I know. I bring you Living Well 7; Don't Wait-Enjoy Life!
