….and lastly,
the color Aegean Green.
Funny, I don’t love the color but I am gaga over the name of the color.
Aegean Green just makes me smile.
What simple pleasures are you enjoying before summer wanes and mistappears?
Do you have a favorite descriptive color?
Don’t you love to read paint chips for the color names?

I’m crazy about pink and I enjoyed your pink flowers. I’ve a pink rose that has just a hint of yellow that profusely blooms outside my dining room window. It would be fun to have the job of naming colors for the paint store: Easter pink, raspberry mousse, cotton candy…..but I’d probably gain weight because I seem to gravitate toward foodie words for descriptions!
That Aegean Green is not too far from Turquoise – the 2010 Color of the Year – and one of my favorite. I’ve waited years for it to become popular again; and not just worn by *old ladies* I’m having fun this summer with impromptu sunflowers, watermelon soup, and tomato poetry.Happy Friday!
Simple summer pleasures: dips in the pool before dinner, grilled sweet corn (picked that afternoon by a farmer up the road), green beans fresh from the garden, baseball games on the radio, peach jam on toast (heavenly fruit, indeed!).Beautiful post, Carol.Blessings,Sandy
I love a good paint name, too. I recently painted two small rooms (a book nook and laundry room) Martha Stewart’s Enamelware. It is really nice, soft shade of blue not much different from Aegean blue (maybe a smidge less green) and then I painted our bedroom Lemongrass which is a pale green with more blue than yellow. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, but I love it. And then I painted my kitchen Chopstick which is a pale yellow. I think I am done painting for the summer! ~Leslie
Guessing that the baby in the first photo is related to you…. and not the others?
Glad you are surrounded by blessing this summer, Carol!Carrie(My favorite color word is cerulean.)
