Day 38 - A Breeze

7/3/2016

4 Comments

 
A breeze can make the Texas heat bearable.  But even a photo that hints at a breeze, can be refreshing.  It wasn't exactly hot some years ago, when my friend Lorrie and I drove out to the small Texas town of Fayetteville.  Lorrie brought old baskets and I brought quilts. We helped ourselves to the clothesline, behind an uninhabited house and snapped with our cameras.  A steady breeze kept those quilts swaying!

Good Breezes: Summer nights at my grandmother's, when her attic fan helped pull the cool air through the window, into the warm bedroom... today, when the breeze hit my bamboo wind-chimes and made my yard sound tropical...  willow trees with a gentle breeze... just enough breeze for a kite... a breeze that carries the smells of my neighbors' grill... the song "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts...

We were just in Round Top yesterday, which is next to Fayetteville. Like the next town over. It was such a cute town.

Can you believe I've never been to Round Top! I do love exploring small TX towns. We should make a list of our favorites one of these days!

Quilts do look good hanging on a line. Don't you miss clothesline days?

    Happy List  
    ​

    I started this blog, by thinking about the things that make me laugh and smile. My "Photo a Day" posting began on May 27, 2016.  I had just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and I found I could keep things positive, by sharing some of my favorite photographs. After 7 months, I stopped the daily habit and aimed for a monthly posts. 

    ​Now, at the end of each month, I look back at all the things I enjoyed in the weeks before. I share some photos, along with a few words. It's a good reminder to myself, to feel grateful every day.
