Heat In August

Setting out...

"Setting off to see another country, I set off to see what is more grandly other—whole cultures, geographies, languages. Who am I in the new place? And who are they who live there?"
--Frances Mayes

"Wherever you go, go with all your heart."
--Confucius

"A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us."
--John Steinbeck

White Heat

We are in the middle of a wicked heat wave here in Northern California, and when it gets this hot, the interior designer in me dreams of lounging in spare, white spaces that promote a cool respite from the heat.

I'm going to be spending some time in the South of France this summer and I hope to encounter lots of spaces like this. We are starting our trip at a friend's farmhouse that looks a lot like this...

Time to set out for the vacation house...
