The dog days of summer finally reached us So Cal folks. \u00a0But, we’re not complaining. \u00a0It’s just that the ac runs a bit longer during the day and…well, it feels like summer minus the humidity that we’re accustomed to on the east coast. \u00a0Not bad at all if you were to ask us.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but certain seasons evoke memories of seasons past. \u00a0The thought of summer brings to mind the good ol beach days back in “the day”. \u00a0I think of flip-flops, sundresses, cool drinks, sunglasses, bonnets, vacations and so on.<\/p>\n

And for me, when the heat of last week rolled in, \u00a0all I could think about was getting my nail tips done in yellow. \u00a0Yes, that’s what I felt like doing to celebrate this brief hot spell. It’s the little things, right?<\/p>\n

When hubby noticed my yellow nail tips, he asked “what’s the occasion?” \u00a0Why, “it’s SUMmer” I replied. \u00a0It’s the time of year for sunflowers that boast the brightest yellow and to me, the essential part of summer is all about yellow. \u00a0At least that’s how my thinker thinks.<\/p>\n

So today, I used a pottery purse that I made last year as a prop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I snapped a couple of pictures for memory’s sake.<\/p>\n

Summer without yellow would be like autumn without orange. \u00a0This could be a clue for an upcoming nail color.<\/p>\n

In other news:<\/p>\n

Nutella would be proud. \u00a0I used this pic (the one I took yesterday) to make a puzzle on my computer last evening. Although I prefer working on a real jigsaw puzzle, this was still fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nutella in the house has been my dearest food friend for the last two days. \u00a0So much so that I don’t see this product in our home when the jar ends. \u00a0It’s going to be a sad day when it’s over. \u00a0Sad let me tell ya. \u00a0As “they” say “everything in moderation” – but I can’t seem to get a good moderation grip on this guy. \u00a0So sad.<\/p>\n

There are more fish fry. \u00a0And life will go on happily ever after as I plan to make that a brief memory.<\/p>\n
