Turquoise Dreams

As we suffer through these ungodly hot days, most of us are no doubt thinking a lot about water and ice - refreshing dips in a lake or swimming pool and tall, sweating glasses of our favorite iced libation.

With these thoughts in my mind, I've also been thinking about the color turquoise.  Turquoise has long been one of my all time favorite cooling, soothing colors. I feel good wearing turquoise stones and just being surrounded by the color turquoise.

You can imagine my surprise when I discovered a whole blog devoted to the color turquoise. Yes, it's true and it's called House of Turquoise.

Here are a few samples of some of the beautiful spaces and places you'll see if you visit the site:

So, are you a bit cooler now?  Either way, go grab yourself a tall cool one, relax, and dream of water -- and perhaps a little turquoise.
