Searching for that Silver Lining
We all know that every cloud has a silver lining. Weary from the heat…but tired of complaining about it, I decided to list some the positive aspects, the things I like about this summer heat:
- the ease and lack of fuss of getting dressed
- the feel of the cool house tiles on my bare feet
- the delight of cool showers
- fantastic watermelon
- fruit filled tall, iced Sangrias
- the taste of just-picked succulent summer fruits
- the bright light
- the cloudless skies
- the balmy evening breezes
- the golden fields of wheat
- the abundance of summer vegetables
- jugs of iced cucumber green tea
- wearing no make-up
- cool linen sheets
- peach prosecco
- tomatoes
- August – an entire month when nothing can get done in Italy!
- the abundance of wonderful summer vegetables
- the beyond blissful pool days at Genius Loci
- sharing the delight in this glorious weather with our Northern European guests
What would you add to the list?

The sound of the crickets at night, lulling one to sleep.
I like the thought of peach prosecco. Would you happen to know where I might find some upon arrival? 🙂
I’d also like to learn more about peach prosecco!!!
This is a wonderful list Mary. I would add that I love the long summer days – early sunrise, late sunset. And how fresh the early morning can feel.
