island life

life here is so very different

from our life in paris.

we stay up late.

sleep late.

i leave the house

with out any makeup on..

i haven't used a hair dryer once.

i wear yoga pants or a 

bathing suit and tunic

to the market

with flip flops.

i love paris

but martha's vineyard

is my favorite place to be.

here is our little cottage

that we've rented for the summer.

it's charming and 

i love how the screen door

slams shut.

we like to sit on the porch

and play cards and drink wine.

i keep thinking that if it was mine

how i'd plant hydrangeas all around it. 

the day we arrived my mom

put food in our fridge

and brought sunflowers.

in paris everyone has their own 

bedroom and pretty much their own 

bathroom!

here we all share rooms

and one bathroom.

i love our little island cottage!

 july 2nd we celebrated

dinner with the cousins.
