Soothing Whites

Gardenia blooms and buds are beginning to appear,

just as the temperatures climb into the 90’s. . .

There is something soothing to my soul

and inner thermostat :) when I see white~

“Sultry as a summer evening and as intoxicating as an exotic perfume, the scent of gardenias settles like a memory onto your soul. The blossoms are just as enticing. Buds shaped like seashells unfurl into velvet soft flowers in the warmth and humidity of early evening. But it’s the fragrance that captivates.”

~Southern Living

“White is not a mere absence of color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black. God paints in many colors; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.”

~ G.K. Chesterton

 And more whites . . .

 If we’re not on the boat,

trying to generate a breeze,

you can find me here~

On the porch,

under the fan,

surrounded by white

& thinking cool thoughts :)
