I love getting bunches of fresh flowers from the farmer’s market, in the marktplatz, and putting them all over the house. It’s raining here today and quite cool. Feels like summer is in the final stretch and handing the baton to autumn. Which I love. But I wish our summer lingered a bit longer, here. I know my friends back in SF are thrilled to be ushering in their summer now, which never arrives until September. Thankfully though, I have a cozy, flower-filled house to wile away in, as the days turn dreary.
