inspiration: august 2010

Inspiring me these days and nights:

Long Summer evening dinners
My changing countertop (tomatoes, melon, peaches)
Peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream
Garden flowers; a gift from someone special
Champagne Cocktail
Cupcakes for a very special birthday party
The first issue of 3191 Quarterly
Summer pancakes

The heart of August has been hot hot hot and most surprisingly I have loved it. I have always been one to feel less than inspired in the heat but this summer I've been kicking it! Mostly I have craved the beach in the late afternoon or early evening. It doesn't seem much like summer at all if I don't have sand between my toes and in my hair. I am going to do my best to hang on tight to the memories of this summer and save them for those cold days of January. Maybe I'll take my shoes off and put my feet in the sand one January afternoon just so I can remember the feeling ... hmm ... burr! Maybe not. —MAV
