Summer Cool

Today was chilly for summer, 64 degrees in Lansing, MI. It was actually a welcome reprieve, not to mention not nearly as many mosquitos! Here are some photos that have a crisp and cool sense to them, whether in style, color, or feel.










(sorry this last photo is a bit big, click to see more than just feet!)


“Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

“The color of truth is gray.”

Thoughts on a rainy day




I love the rain. As a little girl, I would go outside, fully outfitted with raincoat and umbrella (Beauty and the Beast on both) boots optional, and just sit in the driveway. Or if it was sunny outside and I wanted rain, I'd climb under the dining room table with my umbrella and pretend that it was raining.

Hope you enjoy your rainy day!

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby."
~Langston Hughes

"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency."
~Susan Allen Toth, England For All Seasons

Happy June Day!


April 1st gets April Fools Day, May 1st gets May Day, so I'm making June 1st unofficial June Day. Its an official celebration of one of my favorites, white linen.



Welcome to summer everyone!
