Bringing In More Blue

Hey ! I hope you are doing good.   It’s July and steamy!  This is the time of year I really get to craving blue.  Blue looks cool to the eye, makes you think about oceans, pools and water.  We are surrounded by trees here around the house, virtually everywhere you look outside are trees.  We even  have woods beside us.

So with the heat and all the green, I needed more blue around me.  See the little blue pillow went in the center of the sofa.  There is also a blue pitcher on the trunk.

I didn’t paint the living room blue but I have before.  Many times I tried to find the right color of blue!   I finally realized that wasn’t what I needed to do.  The white quilts on the sofas really helps cool things down.  The arms show on each side of the sofas but that’s okay with me, I gotta have a little red!

I flipped the runner over to it’s floral side with the blue gray background.  More blue!

 

And that all ties in with the rugs.  Going outside…..

 

 

We finished painting the porches.  I love the blue toile this time of year.  I have to warn you that you probably will be seeing a lot of blue until fall arrives.

 

 

Sweet tea and hydrangeas with zinnias.

On the porch

Hey there! Today I am sitting on the porch, it's just too pretty to be inside. What are you up to? I want to show you this quilt I have had a few years and love the bright colors in it. It's just right for spring and summer, well,....I like it in the winter too, it's a mood picker upper! There's a few pillows I have collected over time and of course a glass of sweet tea. Drink enough of this and be on your way to diabetes! Do you ever think how lucky we are to live in this time? A lot of things are bad, I know, but there is so much more opportunity now in ways we never could have thought of in our youth. It is truly amazing to me when I see where my readers are from. That this woman could be communicating and sharing ideas with people all over the world is so amazing to me. That we live in a time that we can share our talents, thoughts, wishes, regrets and prayers with one another as if we were sitting beside one another. There are no barriers here, I see no age, color or gender. It shows how much we have in common, that we are drawn to the infinite gems of beauty surrounding us and we are driven to share with one another. That what I bring to the table is encouraged and delighted by you, feeds my heart and makes me grateful. I am truly grateful for my readers, everyone of you.
