Lemonade and Jasmine


My daughter is hooked on the domestic art of making lemonade. She made a huge batch yesterday, and it tastes summery and delicious.

Here's how...

Squeeze 1 cup of lemon juice.
Dissolve 1 cup of caster sugar in 1 cup of water in a saucepan on the stovetop.
Stir the juice into the sugar/water solution.
Add 3-4 cups of cold water and let cool in the fridge.
Serve with iceblocks and drink while relaxing (preferably in a hammock strung between two shady trees)


Another of the sights (and smells) of Summer...

My Jasmine plant is flowering, filling my little courtyard garden with delightful scents.

Can't wait for Summer to arrive.

Some Thursday Cheer


Too far from the weekend to be feeling it just yet, these flowers gave me a little Thursday morning cheer this morning...







...and breakfast with my girl. Always love that.

Hope there is some cheer in your day today.
