three cheers for the weekend! it’s time to kick it off with our favorite canine who is decidedly hot. yes, summer showed up with a vengeance this week with temps flirting with the one hundred degrees mark. so i slipped into a pair of shorts to beat the heat. and they’re gingham from Talbots! didn’t i tell you gingham was a hot a trend this summer? as hot as the summer heat.
there’s a little pattern mixing going on with this cute polka dot popover. this shirt was purchased at my local Talbots. but this is a similar shirt online. my trusty jack rogers are back in action as they partner perfectly with shorts. i finally slipped into the nail salon this week. cajun shrimp is what i’m wearing. according to the salon, it’s the popular color this summer.
our plants are getting a much-needed drink today. i think they’re as thirsty as oscar and me.
if you noticed, our window boxes are getting a summer refresh. our spring blooms faded so it’s time to replant. hardy coneflowers, vinca, and zinnias are my hot weather picks.
but first, a drink for oscar. even though he looks at the water hose as a frenemy. this dog absolutely goes gaga over water! he’s half drinking, half attacking…

I hear you–it’s been equally as hot here in our neck of the woods–shorts are a very good idea, and those are perfect. I saw that shirt–if it’s the one with embroidered dots on it, I really liked that! Looks great.
You truly look like the dog whisperer here–Oscar is intent on your every move. And your porch is looking good–the window boxes do often need a mid-summer replacement when flowers start to get root-bound. I really like those window box containers–they’re perfect the way they wrap around the railings there.
Enjoy that iced tea and have a relaxing weekend! I’m very happy it’s Friday, although where the heck is July going–this summer is moving way too fast!
