Hi Everyone
Happy Friday
♥
This summer has been hot even here in Southern California
We have been dining alfresco to keep cool
dinners have been lighter fare mostly salads and fruit

onto the table outside
Eating outside reminds us of our trips to France
they dine alfresco with such ease
for some reason eating outside makes us slow down
we don't rush
we savor the moment
and the the meal
{Love}
To smell the freshly cut grassto feel the evenings cool breeze
It is always fun to add a few cut flowers from the garden
light the candles
add a little romance to the evening.....
How are you staying cool this summer?

Oh Pam what a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteEven hot there you can dine outdoors? NO WAY could we here in central Ohio, it's been so unbearable humid and hot in high 90s and low 100s - the heat is one thing but the humidity - well, no way - no flowers, no wax candles, no dining at ALL - it's been the worst summer EVER.
Your view, your dining space - I shall live vicariously through you, because your post was heavenly to my eyes and spirit.
May I please come to visit? I'll bring the wine......
Love eating outside. Summer is the best, and thank God for the beautiful weather!
ReplyDeleteI envy you, Pam! Michele is right ~ it has been horrible to be outside here in Ohio. I go out to run errands in the morning so I'm home before noon. I'd love to sit outside even in the evening with some wine and chat with hubby, but it is the hottest part of the day here at 6/7:00 at night! Crazy. You've got such a great yard and view, it must be a real pleasure to even just sit there quietly together.
ReplyDeletePam you have created PARADISE~!! Thank you for sharing~!! xokathee

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. We also eat outside when we can, but here we had the most rainy summer for years. Hope for a better august. Bay the way, I love your TV vacation. That is such a good idea.
