The Weekend in Black and White

I'd like to join my brother and sister-in-law
here on their screened-in porch—just
sit back, drink something icy, and hope to
catch a breeze.  Unfortunately, I have
waaay too much to do.  
Hope your weekend is cool and relaxing.

The Weekend in Black and White

I love the simplicity of this Paris
lantern, and the way the vines mimic
the shape of the embellishment.
