Summer is only a Date

-
Summer does not officially begin till almost the end of June, but in Georgia we start way earlier then that. The AC is on, the lightening bugs are out, and late nights by the fire are ALMOST coming to a close. The other night I spotted my first lightening bug and screamed for joy. I am so an 8 yr old little girl sometimes and for some reason those buggers bring me so much joy. I have noticed bees already too!


Pink also seems to be in the season. I notice cone flowers, peonies blooming, all sorts of pinks and this one above comes with a bee. Tis the season of flowers and bees and lightening bugs. My heart is light.

Even the peonies are pinks all around. Their color is so scrumptious if I could eat it up I would. Spring/summer in Georgia is filled with beauty. Filled with color and now lightening bugs.


Cherry Blossom season is past, but I have so many photos of them I am constantly reminded of their beauty.Their color against a blue sky makes me swoon. The trees are usually filled with bees and I am very happy that I do not bother them and they leave me alone. 

Pink Carnations always make their way into my home about this time. They make me happy too. Okay so pretty much this is my happiness season. I long for pink although I own nothing pink. The irony is not lost on me. I am not a girly girl. I don't like massages, nails, hair, pampering myself with those things. I will buy myself flowers in a NYC second.



Camellias bloom in January/February time frame and I have to say I love having them burst through winter, which hello Georgia, not a real winter, and show up and make us dream of spring. The light, the colors, only thing better is if it had a nice fragrance to transport me, but I have an imagination. I love the color pink. Who knew right?

 Lastly I DO have some ikea kitchen towels with roses and pinks. They make my heart also happy. I find them a little frilly and enjoy the colors of them, but also pink flowers again. The flowers and colors and fragrance of them wrapped around my old muffin tin is perfect. The window light and tea make great friends to pair with the towel and muffins.

I find colors DO set moods. People tend to be made when it comes to reds and robust colors. Color therapy is a whole thing but with me, sometimes a girl just needs a little pink.

Hope Spring/Summer finds your corner of the world soon, but for now ciao!

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
