blooms in june.

pretty peonies!



the peonies are in bloom, and as they say: we are in the thick of it!
summer is here, and in texas that translates to hot, humid & sunny.

for me the heat poses the following limitations & opportunities...

it is too hot for:
  • a run beginning any time after 5:30 am
  • showers that reach a temperature higher than 70F
  • cardigans, yes even the featherweight variety! (though i, and i suspect others, will continue to defy this restriction)
  • leather seats in a vehicle
  • soup, unless it is tortilla soup from los cucos, in which case...it is always acceptable to consume
it is not too hot for:
  • reading a book, poolside with a bowl of cherries
  • purchasing a new pair of sunglasses
  • afternoon naps
  • margaritas and/or shiner bock at a backyard bbq
  • weddings (apparently, as i will be attending 2 in the next 3 weeks!)

Cami, I am in complete agreeance with everything! Inc. the cardigan statement. Fashion over comfort. Besides, when you walk into stores the AC is on full freezer blast & goosebumps rise as your sweat dries.

And two very important things:
1. CUCOS tortilla soup is something we should have again soon! Thanks for discovering it.
2. I LOVE PEONIES! Esp. when they are given from such lovely people.

This entry made me love summer even more than I already do!

I'm surprised that tan lines didn't make your list! :)
