Friday Fave

When I got home from today, the temperature was 101°, with a heat index of 116°!  After  my sweltering metro ride -because I never seem to get onto a car that truly has fully functioning air conditioning- I was ready to dive into a pool.  The only problem...we do not have a pool.  If only this painting -by one my favorite artists Childe Hassam...if you couldn't tell- was my backyard, I'd be in heaven!

Childe Hassam (Am. 1859-1935), Rockweed Pool, oil on canvas

Fortunately my in-laws live 10 minutes away and have a wonderful pool...which I might live in till Monday...

Happy weekend!
