Dozed off writing this last night… Apparently too much sun and sand for quick, coherent thoughts!

Three beautiful things from my past week:

1. We spent the afternoon at the beach, my first in more than a year. An onshore breeze mostly kept the haze away from the shore until evening, so we held court under deep blue skies and with temperatures in the upper 60s.

2. After going a couple more days without water than I would have liked (the water was mysteriously off at the garden and I hadn’t brought any from home), my young plants have perked back up, including my pink flowers, which had looked decidedly wilted.

3. I needed a haircut and tried a new stylist. She listened to what I wanted, offered her suggestions when I asked for her professional opinion, and provided tips for getting the most out of my new ‘do this summer. It works both down and back for sports, and now I just need to find a diffuser attachment for my (very dusty) hairdryer to see if I can recreate what she did for Chris’ wedding on Saturday.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?
