Late summer picnic

 

So we made it to the picnic last weekend.  It was beautiful out in the field, a little prickly when you were sitting down but still beautiful.  I always want to do things like this but never manage to get out there so it was really fun.  We had home made quiche, fruit, bread and cheese.  

I fell in love with the wild flowers, the bushes were taller than me, which I thought was super cool.  

I also want to give a big shout out to Andrea at The French Basketeer to say THANK YOU for the lovely bag!  It held our picnic blankets, our quiche and other goodies perfectly.  (I also used it at the store before we left to buy all of the goodies).

Simply relaxed...

 

This room is all about texture.  Clean and white with just that little added grey. 

Cool and relaxing in this late summer heat!

Jump in!

 

Go on Jump in - it's summer!  

Love those benches (the actual benches in the picture) but I love the pool more!

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of your Summer days.   Do you have big plans this summer?  We are doing a few weekend getaways but not too much, I think we will be enjoying lazy mornings and sleeping in, with our warm afternoons spent in the sun.

let the sunshine in

 

It has been really beautiful here the last few days in California.  

Sometimes, when I am having a difficult week like this one, I wonder am I doing the right things

with my life? Should I have just stuck with the whole stay at home mom thing?  Then I could just enjoy the sunshine with the kids!

Or just sometimes I wonder would it be easier to just work for someone else and let it all go at the end of the day?
