Pure Pleasures of Summer . . . .

Flip flops & toe rings.

Sparklers.

Convertible hair.

Ice cream trucks.

Watermelon.

Beach umbrellas.

Rockers and porch swings.

Bike baskets filled with your favorite things.

Beach kisses.

...and enjoying the end of another beautiful day.

Pure Pleasures . . . .

Long, comfortable silences between close friends.

Being next.

Napping. . . just because you can.

Giving (or receiving) puppy kisses.

A few hours of this.

Packages that show up on your doorstep that you forgot you ordered.

Brief eye contact that communicates volumes.

Happy Friday!

Have a lovely weekend!

Pure Pleasures of white . . . .

Billowing drapes in a warm breeze.

Fresh snow on a sunny day.

Bubbles in a warm bath.

Tiny white lights .... used anywhere, anytime.

A man's dress shirt (worn like this).

The blank pages of a new journal.



Pearls.

The frothy top of a cappuccino.

When soft, white flannel sheets are this inviting.

Pure pleasures . . . .

Porches.

Sweet potato fries.

My own pillow.

Dancing.

Accidently hearing someone say 

something nice about you.

Enjoying a yummy meal, 

and realizing just how healthy it really was.

Thinking it's Thursday, when it's Friday!

Happy Friday!

Have a lovely weekend!
