Straight into summer clothes

In Granada, people usually say that spring doesn't exist or lasts merely a couple of weeks. From one day to another, we suddenly found ourselves in pre full summer. I felt like a fool walking in the village with my black leather boots this morning. As much as we are not prepared for long lasting rains, we are not prepared either to switch quickly from woollies to light summer clothes.
The roof terrace is now my favorite obsession. It claims for more flowers, more attention, more paint here and there. It is a small lovely space which cries out : Hey you...my glorious days are soon to begin..so you'd better hurry up and do me up !
So it means more potting and may be colorful summer clothes for the chairs too...

With no reason, the idea of summer always makes me a bit nostalgic. It's a time when I think a lot about my childhood. My sisters and I were beyond excited at the thought of summer holidays as it meant travel and new encounters. Our parents took us to Spain many times, by the seaside. I must say summers in Andalusia are for me the best ever, not only because time is more elastic but also, life is pleasantly easy but we'll have more time to discuss that in the future....
In tune with my nostalgic sensation, I feel like re-reading Françoise Sagan Bonjour tristesse. I'm curious to know if you have a specific list of books to read this summer. Have you ?

And today is definitely my lucky day...I received a pretty cushion from Agneta's give-away and because she is so sweet and was concerned that I didn't receive the give-away in time she added another lovely surprise which is now hanging around my neck...Thank you Agneta ! I so wish I had my camera back to take a pic and show it to you...but later, promised...

Have a great sunny monday !
