Rose petal baths....

I do believe it has finally arrived, a
long, hot spell almost worthy of an
Indian summer. There is something
overwhelming about the heat, it feels
inescapable.......but amidst it all I am
trying to somehow succumb instead of
resist. To feel the sensuality of it all, to
find things that match this part of the
summer season..... to meet it as it comes.

With this in mind, what a fitting time
for a cool rose petal bath......



To wallow amidst beautiful rose petals and ponder
my next summer survival plans.
Some incense perhaps to burn as night falls, a lovely festive
summer meal......sunset at the beach???
......A plane ticket to somewhere cool?

A wonderful discovery.....

It is amazing what delights can be found on an evening walk,
at long last a Christmas Beetle....we think.
What a magic discovery!

Sand between the toes......

We've been "all at sea..." over the last week.
Enjoying all that the ocean has to offer, before the
true heat of summer arrives.
Oh how thankful I have been for the lovely
warm sunny weather that has hovered around
30 degrees, perfect for days spent learning to
swim by the ocean.













Something truly lovely and summer-ish!
