Inside, for a change.
We're spending so much time out of doors right now that inside seems still, and calm. Like a refuge.
Until the girls come in like a stampede of horses.
I'm finding I appreciate the quiet of my house when it is just me and the little one, more than ever.
I love that the windows are always open, and there are fresh flowers in jars and glasses and vases all over the house. Every day. Even just a few sprigs of thyme. Or one Black Eyed Susan. Sage mixed in with hydrangeas and two stalks of lavender.
I love that lunch can be anything from some leftover cucumbers to a little bit of cheese and bread and tomatoes. Dinner can be something quick once the sun has gone down. I'm finding myself very unmotivated to do the full on meals I normally would immerse myself in preparing. Now, I don't want to take the time.
I want to sit and enjoy what stillness and quiet I can find.
More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

sounds like the perfect way to spend a day
Ditto! Today the boys played golf with their dad. So quiet all afternoon!
so pretty and peaceful ~ if only we could extend the easy calm and light through every season.
i missed stillness and quiet and time alone during our few days away exploring dublin. tho' that was good too, just in a different way.
ah the pleasures of summer dining! a bit of this and a dab of that is the perfect ending to a day spent outdoors. my favorite mixed plate includes oh so delicious landjager (from zingerman's), some sharp vermont cheddar, smoked almonds, olives, slices apples, grapes and a glass of red wine....mmmm.
cheers,
