Dancing Whites

The summer months are the time to see hydrangeas everywhere. I have a friend who spends the summers in Maine every year.She has gorgeous hydrangeas in her yard but doesn’t get to see them bloom. She graciously told me I could go and cut some to take home and paint. I love every color; the pinks, purples and blue. But the white ones are especially beautiful paired with a blue and white vase.

Tuesday at the Beach

Looking for shells at the beach is something that the kids never grow tired of. Some days yield more than others. They are beautiful but can a have an oceany odor to them, especially when they haven’t bee throughly washed. Our daughter was wondering why her bedroom in the beach house had a peculiar odor. Her 10 year old daughter Rylee had hidden her bucket of shells in her drawer so as not to be pilfered by younger cousins. yikes! They are now on the porch.
