While the heat isn't particularly conducive to any remotely productive activity, there is something wonderful about Texas summers. Mornings begin early and are full of birdsong, you glimpse fawns in the woods all day long, the shaded water is cold even on the hottest afternoons, and at night there are fireflies and cicadas. It might be boiling, but it's also seriously enchanting. . . . #texassummer #texaswomen #slowliving #femaleform #boudoir #texasstyle #summer #livesimply #livefolk An older one, from Burgundy during harvest time when the linden tree cast shadows on our bedroom wall every morning, and I'd watch it as long as I could before making the long walk through the château down to the cavernous kitchen. It would still smell of the fire embers from the night before, and we'd watch the sun rise over the gardens and vines with teacups of Belgian coffee and chocolate croissants from the local bakery. It came to feel like another home in those months, and may well be a permanent home sometime soon. I miss the pace of life there, and the absolute silence, and most of all those mornings watching the shadows of the linden tree. . . . #slowliving #burgundy #burgundianliving #burgundianmorning #femaleform #boudoir #frenchliving #france #frenchlife #parisianstyle #chateau Morning light, timeless little feminine rituals, my grandmother's pitcher and bowl, white slips, and cool, damp hair on a hot summer day. . . . #slowliving #longhair #beautyrituals #livefolk #morningof #morninglight #thatsdarling #everydaybeauty #sanantonioboudoir #austinboudoir A Sunday for tangible things - real books, home cooked meals, close family and writing by hand. Plus those non-stop kicks in the stomach every time I get comfortable doing one of those other things. . . . #hands #tangible #livesimply #blackandwhitephotography #darlingweekend #thatsdarling #pregnantlife #livefolk #fineartphotography #theartofliving #slowliving #slowliving_arts #slowliving_create I will never, ever take the ability to drink wine for granted again. Happy Friday.
