A taste Of Summer

A taste Of Summer

There is something about summer in California. 
Its that heady smell of strawberries on a hot day when I drive with the windows down. Acre upon acre of lush ripe berries. What could be more decadent than to be fed one on a spoon.

The choice of back ground color is unusual for me it reminds me of a a vibrant sun set. Those rich lilac hues that often fill the sky. Any way I  really like this one which probably means no one else will!

"The Art of Racing in the Rain". Absolutely nothing to do with painting but perhaps the most heart warming thought provoking book I have read in a very long time. Biased, as I'm a dog lover.It tells the story of  family life through the eyes of a dog named Enzo. His remaining hours on this earth are numbered. A racing theme steers us through the book, via Denny, Enzo's master  a would be rally driver. Its parallels to life and modern living stopped me in my tracks. Worth every single penny of the $13.49 I paid at Costco. I can't recommend this short novel enough.
