white out

The white heat embers of summer make me long for doses of white.

White as a texture - reminds me of white coral
found on etsy here.
White is a relief.
White candles. One or many.
White marble mosaics.

White towels. White, clear sparkling cool water.
White objects provide a certain cool factor.
White slipcovers.
White washed floors.
White vanities.
White bowls.
White tees.
White shirts.
White ice.

Is it me, or is it the heat that is inspiring a white out here?

  1. Enjoying summer one day at a time. Love the sight of freshly washed linnens, towls and sheets on the washing lines on a summer day.

  8. I agree Patricia, the whites of the beach, coral, seashells, linen, and flowers all add to the cooling of the season of heat!
