A bouquet of peonies and roses sits on my kitchen table.
When I walked in there this morning...
I was greeted with their spectacular scent!
What a way to begin a new day.
Summer vacation is underway. I sent my charges off for the summer. I wonder if they know that their teacher is JUST as excited as they are to have some free time...
Yesterday I rose early to attend a "Water Wake-up" class at 5:45 a.m. Yes I made it. Can you believe it???? I got up that early on my very first day of vacation.... but it was worth it! What fun! I plan to go every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We'll see....
And... I am still loving that pretty bike! I plan to get a sweet wicker basket to attach to it. That way I can carry things... like a camera... snacks...anything! I feel so good after riding.
I am beginning to feel the need to create again. Now to find a place where I can spread it all out again.
I love this quote...
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
Jill!
Happy vacation daze to you...
Look at your wonderful bike, just the perfect way to spend summer days,
sky blue to pedal in and out of the petals.

The bike is cool. I love the quote. It's a familiar one to me. I hope you really enjoy your summer. I've been trying to catch up with the blogs I love to visit. I hope I'm back alittle more often. I always enjoy yours.

You go girl! The colors of those flowers is so beautiful - so old fashioned. I love them! And I think it's great that you actually enjoyed getting up at dawn to go to a water aerobics class. That is certainly the thing that will keep you going back!

such a lovely array -- i adore the smell of a peony!:) Its brief flowering period is what makes me love it even more.
