I have my reasons for this of course - ones I'll talk about on The Big Piece of Cake - but an indisputable consequence will be a significant decrease in computer time for me (as if it was "significant" to begin with).
And as a case in point, I wrote the above text on Sunday night!
Luckily - this is a website that pays homage to color and I have a bit of inspiration outside my door right now. It's early summer so the flowers are still blooming everywhere. Here are some shots from my garden (okay and that of a neighbor or two):
I know - that last one is a weed... But I remember thinking they were so pretty when I was a little girl. I'd gather as many as I could find for mini-bouquets.
And peonies are in season! So here is what I have on my dining room table:
"My signature colors are blush and bashful..."
I'll be back tomorrow with those pictures I promised in my last post about the low-budget/low-skill level DIY project.








The daughter of a decorator, at age four, I told my mother that "every room needs a touch of yellow." This was the beginning of my lifelong obsession with lovely interiors.

Love them - and love that you've unplugged for the summer. I might do something similar. The theme song to Dora is constantly running through my head.
LOVE the My Best Friend's Wedding reference - right?
If all of my favorite bloggers unplug for the summer then I am going to be very bored.
Love the flowers!! I need to plant more.
Beautiful flowers and colors! I hoe you enjoy your time with the kids, it goes so fast.
Love Steel Magnolias! I cry EVERY time I watch and I know what is coming! :)

Ahhh, summertime flowers... (deep inhale and silly grin on face) LOVE 'em! Especially peonies- they're such big, fat, fluffy happy flowers. I even love your weed picture. I used to pick clover flowers when I was little and would make jewelry out of them! I just moved to Florida and have been enjoying all the hibiscus here. Nothing says summer like flowers.
