The first Friday of summer and whatever the season

The first Friday of summer and whatever the season, Friday's arrival means This & That Day on the blog where not only will you discover all that is shared ⤵️ , but also where I found this house and why I gawked at it for quite some time ☺️

Stop by TSLL.co and discover ➡️ Good news is plentiful in this week’s edition of T&T, and by that I mean two items both have that name 😉. Also, cookbooks to quench your thirst for seasonal interest, delicious dinners every night, seasonal vegetable dishes taught by one who knows, clothing finds from France on sale, and others that are stylish for summer. A new film that takes us to Paris, the return of a young favorite star in an ongoing series who reprises her role of Sherlock’s sister, a French series that takes us back to Nice in the 1930s, and still, there is much more!

"Stillness paradoxically releases all that is not our burden to bear. Whether exaggerations, responsibilities of others, misunderstandings, or energy misplaced, when we remember to be still, the medicine of calming the waters of our mind has a ripple effect of clearing away what is false, battles not worth engaging in, and so many other unnecessary ways we can encumber our daily life and need not do so."
