Breakfasting in the untamed outdoors

In theory I am an open-windows kind of girl.  I love falling asleep next to one, waking up next to one, going about my day feeling the cross breeze throughout the house… if it were practical, I would live with the windows wide open all day, every day throughout the summer.

Nevermind.

Thank you all for your encouragement yesterday! It’s so nice to see that you think a newbie like me can churn out a lovely summer wrap in four days.  Yes it’s nice, but I must respectfully suggest that we are all sipping from the same half-full cup of delusion juice… Last night I curled up […]
