Genuine preppy Madras ( named from Madras, India) is made of multiple squares of plaid that are not color fast. The fabric will bleed (color dye). In high school, 1960s, my favorite skirt was a reversible denim to Madras. A white blouse and Madras shorts outfit is my fashion definition of summer.
Finding Madras in a thrift store has been very difficult. This year, I bought a fantastic pair of Madras shorts. Thrilled I be.

Creativity can be fickle. Just as this artist reaches the exciting almost finished stage, anxiety can be overwhelming. What if I make a mistake!?
A simple solution is to remind myself, if I did it before, then I can do it again. (I also use that reasoning to help me get to dental appoitments.) Talking through it blazes the trail forward.
Trail!?
This summer, I feel is peaking. Next Friday, August begins the slow slide into autumn. I have yet to hike or walk anywhere. I also haven’t been to a beach yet.

Remember this?
The last half can be a 2nd summer dedicated to creativity. That includes traveling to take photos and see places to blog about. Being out and about learning and experiencing is, I feel, part of being a creative person.
Today’s local forecast of 90°F or higher means if I am outdoors, then shade, sunscreen and hydrate. It is just after 10 AM EDT here. Time to get out into summer.
