Richmond has Enough Summer to go Around

My AC is working again! This is excellent because now I can tinker around the house without feeling guilty. Richmond's heat wave has been intense with temperatures around 102 degrees and all the humidity that comes along with those temperatures in the South. AC's (like my own) have been struggling to keep up, the time of beautiful Spring breezes that you find in May and June ended abruptly Wednesday with stagnant hot heavy air and haze from the North Carolina Wild-Fires. It's been a brutal change normally we have until July to get ready for this mess.

In my apartment we've been fighting this weather with summer salads, freezie pops and little movement under the fans. Today though the AC has caught up, sadly blinds are closed, but it definitely feels like summer with dark cool spots to hunker down with a good book a glass of iced tea or maybe a  good project and some iced coffee.

On a quest to seek out just such a project I found one so fitting for my situation that I had to share. Richmond has enough Summer to go around so I figure what better way to share than a Summer post-card swap. First off I can get down with a swap as I've said before ... it's always lovely to find an unexpected surprise mixed in with the bills and grocery inserts. But this one looks especially wonderful I'm drooling over covering my walls with Summer.

So if you're interested her deadline in June 15th. You can find the swap at Hula Seventy here. I am going to have to start planning what part of Richmond's Summer I want to share -- because I would love for some of the cool air in Portland to travel this way ...
