Swimming Pools

If you've seen me around twitter at all these past few months you know that swimming has been my activity of choice. I'm lucky in the the condo complex I live in has a swimming pool directly across from my condo so going swimming in a mere walk away. It's almost never crowded, especially at night, making it the perfect place to allow the day's worries to melt away. My favorite time to swim is definitely after the sun's gone down. It keeps the heat down and there's something magical about looking up at the moon and stars while floating in water that's still deliciously warm from the rays of the sun. What's your favorite summer activity for relaxation?

So much for organization... I ended up spending the last half hour catching up with comments (how I wish blogger would introduce comment threading for giving proper replies) and commenting around Poupee Girl. Not so productive, but certainly fun.

The Colors of Summer

One of my favorite thing about these warm months is the dazzling array of colors of summer. Everything seems a little more intense this time of year from the blue of the sky to the green of the grass and everything in between. Clothes and decor are swapped in favor of brighter hues. The sheer variety of produce in season gives the table a rainbow of opportunities. I love it all!

There are a few things that I personally associate with summer in my life. My bright pink flip flops that can finally be worn. The bright green of my patio furniture that will get more use during the warm months. The colorful spines of my books that will be keeping me company on afternoons when it's too hot to venture outside. What colors do you associate with summer?

I'm starting to get into the groove of this. I'm caught up with messages and I'll start visiting blogs soon ❤ I also realized that I still had CAPTCHA on and for that I apologize, it has since been turned off.
