It’s too hot for words today and my mind is totally toasted. Here’s what happiness is for me this morning. In the heat of the afternoon, I’m not feeling cool and content like my laughing buddha.

But a glass of rhubarb wine can greatly reduce my distress. I’m feeling a bit more mellow.

I’m looking at my garden with a happier eye. How can I ask for anything more?










What would I not do for a garden like this… it rained like crazy for 14 hours here… my bittermelon plants broke and some tomatoes squashed to the ground!
Oh dear! We’ve had cool weather till now. My bitter melon is not at all very big and viny and they’re in the greenhouse. A very strange summer.
Lily, how great to see you relaxing in your garden. And what a beautiful garden! Plus, it gives you food. Now what about the rhubarb wine? Did you make that as well?
Thanks, Kebba. I harvested rhubarb. Rod made wine.
What beautiful garden pictures and I love to see you relaxing with a glass of wine! Enjoy your day!
Thanks, Martha!
I love the pictures especially the one with you relaxing with a nice glass of wine. It has been extremely hot here in Virginia (US), too.
