I haven’t been exploring much this week, so unfortunately I do not have a new place to write about. Instead, I thought I’d share some of the little things that are making me happy this summer. We’ve had fantastically hot, sunny days here the last two weeks and I’m grateful for it (I can say that only because the A/C is on at home and at work!)

{visiting swanky upscale beach clubs}

{ flowers, flowers, flowers }

{New England farms that overlook the Narragansett Bay}

{Newport in the summer}

{ The lush Green Mountains of Vermont}

{ a summer haircut for the dog}

{more excuses to eat ice cream – this is a great new place that is dangerously close by}

{leisurely dinners with family on the deck of a fabulous restaurant}

I hope you are having a good summer too!
