Summer with Edith and Henry




"Summer afternoon — summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."- Henry James as quoted by Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance (1934)

Today I'd have to agree with Henry, it's quite beautiful here in the typically humid South.

  2. Hot and humid here. I'd love to be sipping that iced tea (?) in the beautiful yellow dress and not a care in the world.
    I'm feeling cool already.

  3. No, you're right, and I'm happy to attest to it; but I'm not so sure I'd have declined the company, in any case.
