    What a great essay. I love your pictures and blog also! Such a good pick-me-up.

    Wish I was at my favorite lake, Lake Powell where I grew up close to. Enjoy your lake day!

    Happy birthday and I LOVE that hat. Reminds me of the Helen Kamanski hats I coveted as an older teen. Saw one in an op shop the other day and pounced, but I have a small hat and all my life have spent time chasing hats that have blown from my head. Love hats but sadly they don't love me.
    Thanks for the comment on the Maiden Threads outfit. It's a cute tee isn't it?

    Those watermelon photos are priceless! I love gnawing on fresh watermelon on a hot day.

    your hat is fabulous. and that watermelon is making me hungry. jealous on both counts! 🙂

    those watermelon photos are hilarious! I am not a fan of melon, but those almost make me want to bite into a huge slice (or, better called, wedge?) just like that!
