June ~ Beach Roses and Fog




June---the gentle fog rolls over the dunes in dense white billows

bringing the summer scents of beach roses, honeysuckle, and salty air....








on the grey deck a new pineapple tablecloth, an open bottle of crisp New Zealand sauvignon blanc 
And the bamboo pineapple tray with chunks of fresh pineapple, June strawberries, and fresh mozzarella. We huddle in sweaters and rain jackets, the fog is quite wet---raise a toast to June! (and scurry back inside.)



Have  a great weekend.

love

lizzy

gone to the beach.....

  1. Brave souls you are. The Sauvignon Blanc should help.
    Those must be quite hardy roses. Would they be Rugosas I wonder? So lovely to see the white as well.
    Mo has the right idea - snug as a pug. Penny

    1. The roses are Rosa Rugosa, the wild version not cultivated. Horribly thorn encrusted but big and pretty. Flowers are the size of the palm of my hand!

  2. It's hard to imagine June being chilly and wet when it's been in the 90s already here - heat and humidity we usually don't have until mid-July and August! We didn't get much 'spring' this year, went right from winter to summer!

    I wish I could smell the roses! I bet that breeze smells wonderful. It'd be great if you could 'can' some and send it along, LOL!

    Have a good weekend!

    1. Got the sweaters and hoodies back out tonight. Gale blowing, 55*, wind chill 50* . Guessing winds at 30-40 mph, and of course colder here by the water. Like a lovely Fall day.

  3. Spring always feels a little mixed up here, weatherwise!

  4. It sounds awesome to have a little nosh on the porch at the beach with Mo! Such a shame that it's still cold enough to need to bundle (at least Mo's got some great sweaters)!

    1. Hot toddy weather, I'm afraid! Mo wore his spring vestie in robin's egg blue. But he is afraid of the wind, the blowing sand hurts his eyes.

  6. Aaahhh, I bet the scents smell lovely. What a combo.

    I can imagine your deck scene. Sounds perfect...though maybe just a smidge warmer would be ok.

    You and Mo enjoy your Sunday!
