Tequila
This picture says it all. It’s 34°C out. We’ve been running errands/working (John) all day and we are now just killing time until we go over to our friends house for a Brazilian dinner. Mmmm! But until then I’m taste-testing. Now let me go enjoy!

And the green grass grew all around, all around
The green grass grew all around! So it’s been just about 3 weeks since our back breaking labour of laying topsoil and sod. And the grass has taken off. It has a mind of it’s own! It could have….should have…been cut last weekend but John wanted to wait so here we are. It’s ridiculously long. But the length helps keep in the moisture which is a necessity since it hardly ever rains here. It’ll help keep our water bill down. I’m afraid to get the water bill for last month….ack! But it paid off and our lawn flourishes. It’s a beautiful deep green and growing like a weed. J mowed…

Probably since that was one of the main staples in my Gram’s gardens and pots. But since starting my own garden I’ve learned there is more to Geraniums than just the standard white and red and bright pink. This one if my favourite.

Home for a Rest
I took it upon myself to “tell” John that he must learn ‘Home for a Rest’. I don’t know why after all these years I just think now that he should learn it. It has a great intro and it would be a great campfire song if you ask me. hehe But he’s been plucking away for a couple days now and it’s coming along nicely. It is music tome my ears. I’m actually sitting here right now listening to the boob-tube and him work away at the solo. He’s got the timing now and it’s just a matter of remembering it all. It’s a lot of notes to do…
