it's a scorcha, yes it is!

On Wednesday, as the carpet guy rolled out the new wall to wall he said, "This is one of our best values". I answered, "Well, ya, I have lots of other things I'd rather spend my money on than carpet!" In any case, Henry has given it his seal of approval.  And now the bookcases have been moved into my new studio, and I've got all my books exactly where I want them. The rest comes later...

Batman and I have been ripping through our weekend list of things to do. The weather here has been hot and humid, just in time for summer. We finally slowed down mid-afternoon. We are now under the ceiling fan, while Batman channel surfs between the World Cup/ baseball/the US (golf) Open. It is Father's Day, after all. I am enjoying a concoction of ice, a splash of white wine and a few glugs of sparkling water...

So here are some links I've been meaning to share...just a bit of internet wanderings.

I first "met" Bobbi last fall, when we were doing the Art Every Day Challenge. Lately, she has been writing a series on herbs, my favorite has been her post on lavender. Bobbi posts often about the art she's working on. She's an inspiration.

Judy has just returned from a trip, and look at her beautiful work, inspired by the landscapes in Italy. She's also adopting two kittens this week, I'll bet there will be some cute pictures ...

When the oil mess in the gulf begins to overwhelm me, I head over to Lovely World, where there are beautiful things to look at. And more. And something to do, if you are able to be near the sea on June 26th.

And I invite you to go on over to my dear friend Mary's blog, to read about something you can do to help fight the ugly beast of cancer. It's quick and easy. (I have a handful of friends with cancer, who I am keeping in my thoughts. Maybe you do too).

Do you have any good links to share?
