a little slice of life with Nikole

(Good Morning, friends! Today I'm debuting a new little series that I hope to have each week or perhaps every other week here on the blog: a little slice of life. I try to share the good little bits about everyday life here on my blog-and there are so many of you out there who do the same. I thought it would be nice to celebrate that. I'm so pleased that dear Nikole is my first guest in this series. She has a way of capturing her life in photos and words that just makes me smile. Thanks, Nikole and happy Friday to you all!)

 

 

 

hi, i'm nikole!
i like words about food,

and travel by train.
and i like adventure and everyday
almost equally the same.





on occasion i eat ice cream for breakfast
and i'm keen on the sweet bits of summer.
so from me to you, by way of miss abby,




a wee post on pastel.

::::

i like summer because it seems so pastel.
i like it for it for its creamy pinks and muted grays.
for it washed skies
and long beige colored fields.
for its sandy shores and sunny days.

i like summer for its yellow string beans
and its cobblers of peach.
for its golden raspberries
and for its sweet cherry jam.



i like it for popsicles that drip
and its fruits full of stones.
for its iced tea and verandas
and for its clouds, puffy white.





i like it for its roadside shops
and its ocean walks.



but more than all that
i like summer i think,
for how its pastel cones
match its pastel skies.





thanks for having me abby!
xox, n.

Thank you for that beautiful post, Nikole! You can visit Nikole at her blog, forty-sixth at grace or at her exquisite shop she runs with her father Herriott Grace. Happy Friday-and not to worry, five senses will be back next week.
