my friend somer's pantry
I love her pantry ~ it's like a morandi painting

I've been awaiting inspiration or perhaps a poetic bolt from the blue, which has not been forthcoming. My life is filled with special tidbits of all shapes, sizes, colors ~ but without a very cohesive center to things right now. I have a desire to go river-swimming, have packaged and sent off my work to the Oo Gallery for the bOok exhibit opening soon, and am hoping the hummingbirds return presently to my backyard.
Yesterday was spent cloistered in my studio, the only room in the house with a/c, in an attempt to avoid the incredible heat wave which has been permeating this area. Last night's thunderstorm turned into mostly lightning and didn't do much to break the heat, while dropping hailstones the size of junior mints in towns nearby. I watched the rain come from the window of The Trolley Car Diner where I ordered comfort foods and read my book while watching the lightning flash out in the stormy evening sky. Tim is in tennessee until monday dealing with the heat down there at the great music festival.
I'm now on my way to the art museum for an hour or two ~ it's nice to live so close ~ and want to escape the bulldozers drawing near (I got woken by a door-pounding at 7:30 to move my car.)
The idea that a solo camping venture to the cooling woods might be appropriate this weekend is beginning to take root in my mind...

yes, it's hot, isn't it? although, today feels much better. i even sat in the sun. :)
where do you two camp? my husband and i are looking for a good place to get lost on the cheap.
Sounds like some crazy weather! Hope you can find some respite from the heat... a trip to the forest sounds ideal! :)
my friends had some unexpected things come up--- so i'll be camping solo, as well. i'm actually really looking forward to the solitude, beauty and peace.
if you make it out to the woods-- enjoy the stillness.
We had hailstones here!...and thunder. Thankfully there was no damage to the plants.
Somer's pantry is art isn't it...
Hope that poetic bolt from the blue turns up....and the hummingbirds :~)
Enjoy solitary camping if you go ~ have a great weekend ~
brittany ~ we look for campgrounds near bodies of water within a couple of hours of us ~ there are a bunch listed in our PA Atlas, and we can then see if they are in parks or whatever. We enjoy Locust Lake a lot. :)
victoria ~ it rained! so happy here! :)
alfie ~ I'm looking forward to hearing about your solo experience
helen ~ we just need about 3 days of steady rain just to settle everything down. I find a long rainstorm so calming. I've been enjoying your blog ~ I know where you are coming from recently, feeling a little of that myself. xo
