every girl should have a terrace or a balcony or a sprawling secret garden hidden from the outside world but containing beautiful mysteries and hidden worlds but we don't and that's why the world is going to hell in a handbasket

midsummer vignette
waking up to birdsong, fresh strawberries for breakfast, picking wildflowers, dining outdoors, grilled vegetables and chèvre with rosé, sun-bleached linen clothes with tattered loafers, the comforting greens of nature all around, lying on a blanket in the garden with a good book in hand, the scent of sunscreen and freshly cut grass, going for a swim with friends and the family dogs, throwing on an old wool jumper to go watch the bonfire at night

july mood
- slow mornings — baby blue gingham pajamas, coffee and journaling on the patio, fresh berries to top a bowl of greek youghurt
- reading a book on the sunny steps of an ancient cathedral, a gust of wind softly flipping the pages
- swimwear as underwear — coming by a beach on your walk, just slipping out of your breezy linen pants and sliding into the sea
- a weathered table in the garden shaded by the foliage of old crooked trees — juicy peaches on a piece of china, a carafe of icy water, bees flying all around
- the scent of sunscreen and hot stone, the rhythmic tunes of street musicians, and the happy chatter of tourist groups crowding the city square
- a large wedding, guests dressed in pastel shades and silk and summer suits, dancing as the sun sets, happy to be celebrating love
- a languid summer's afternoon where heat makes the air tremble, sipping iced tea and trying to finish your favourite ice cream before it melts onto your fingers
- spending the hottest midday hour in a small but air-conditioned art gallery, chatting with the owner and learning more about painting and sculpture
- a storm raging outside as you read, curled up in the corner of the couch with the family pet, pausing at times to watch the lightning
