today i am missing summer. i am yearning for the heat of the sky upon my skin, the tickle of the blue beyond between my toes; the burst of strawberries on my lips; the delighted giggles of my girls that linger in the heavy air; evenings with a chorus of cicadas; the scent of sand and salt...
helping transport me:
~ the idea of slipping into these for a warm night out;
~ a linen shift with a touch of lace;
~ simple & gold;
~ wishful thinking;
~ and a soundtrack.
happy day dreams... xoox~jla
I am trying to enjoy the coming spring, but aah, summer. How I love summer...

Very early this morning, as I sat on the back step sipping my morning tea, I could hear the birds chirping in the way that indicates that the winter is just about over. I can hardly wait for the summer.
I love this photograph of your daughter, it's truly beautiful :-)

My oldest son (4 years old) has severe allergies, mainly environmental. It's too cold to go outside and play so his indoor allergies act up. When it isn'[t cold, things are blooming outside and making him itch all over. Summer is the BEST season for him. I took pictures of him today, and he had such dark circles under his eyes. :( Only a few more months until summer, I suppose.

i'm going through summer at the moment - so hot and muggy here! all i can think about is the coming autumn (which starts today!) but i can't see the weather changing any time soon. :)
love that photograph! it's very reminiscent.
