summer stream of consciousness

It's summer in my world. No school, weekend visitors, barbecues. Yes, it's here. The reasons I'm loving it ...

barbecues and pool parties at liz's in westchester. the freedom to draw. the freedom to paint. the freedom to plan events. time to read indie fashion mags before bed. time to get inspired. time to create long exposure city shots from friends' roofs. surprise/impromptu trips to miami for work - perfect timing. time to see my friends and dance and catch up on manhattan rooftops. good friends' visits. brunch outside. people watching. walking everywhere around the city. agua de coco con pulpa. fro-yo. museums. botanical gardens. wearing sandals, maxidresses, ponytails, bright lipstick. creative collaboration. spending days off in the bookstore. time for literature. time for movies. possibilities.
