Anthropologie’s most recent online catalog caught me by surprise. They have shots all over India, but these particular scenes are from Kerala. The coconut trees, the mossy cement walls, the banks along the river, the people, all feel strangely familiar and reminiscent of summer vacations spent there. America and India standing side-by-side is a theme that has threaded itself into my entire life making this a surreal visual experience.

Friday night dinner (artichoke asparagus soup) by Jon and a movie about Johnny Cash (Walk the Line).
Between playing patty cake and snuggling by the dryers, these two made laundry time look like the perfect date. They made me smile.
sketches in the window of Club Monaco on the Upper East side caught my eye
Fall is close. I know this because it’s getting familiarly cooler and clearer. The summer haze has dispersed and the early morning light has dimmed. I love summer. The secret beaches, steamy subways, vacations, gardens, popsicles, outdoor markets, walking. Every year I am sad to see her go. I can’t complain about Fall’s beautiful colors and layers that will soon replace the white honesty of this season, but Summer… Summer will always be my first love.
We started out at Dia Beacon before heading to Storm King this past weekend. Of course, there were some thrift stores in Beacon that I had to check out, including Relic. It’s where I found this Eva Zeisel expresso cup and Russel Wright bowls!
We visited Storm King last weekend and the day was grey until we got to the Mirror Fence by Alyson Shotz. The sky suddenly peeled open and summer magic poured in.
(Catching up ) We saw some natural red-white-blue hues on July 4th weekend. God bless America.
So those heirloom lettuce seeds I gave my mother for mother’s day have arrived in leafy form!
