Summer

Well, we all need vacation so I started mine just today! I'm looking forward to...

radish
ice cream
pleasant and breezy nights, watching fireflies flying around on a lovely summer evening, sitting on the beach at night listening to the waves and watching the sunset.
You got it-I'm seriously craving some beach vacation right now!

I'm only taking a summer break for a couple of weeks, but I will still be around. I'll comment to you still when I can.

Hope you're having a great (stay cool) summer! Have a Happy Fourth of July! xx

  18. Fun summer pics. Love watermelon..are those green figs? Are there figs that are ripe when green in color? I don't know much of figs, they do not grow here. We can buy some, but they are not as good as the ones from my CA friend's tree.

  81. Were those white figs? Many years ago my dad planted a fig tree and it's fruit is barely coming ripe for my June vacation. I asked the question because I have never seen a sliced fresh fig in my life. I only see the interior after I have bitten into them; a rather different appearance. O the joys of figs that are completely ripe devoured straight off the tree!

    ReplyDelete
