Scenes on Sunday ~ Encinitas
At some time our inner fire goes out.
I went, I saw, she conquered.

Drinks for a Summer Saturday
Cricket is paradise in the summer sun.
Summer is upon us, in some parts of the world it’s Father’s Day this Sunday, and in England we’re playing summer sports; cricket, tennis, and gardening. OK, the English love gardening. However English Gentlemen mostly like sitting in the garden sipping something cool while we watch our Good Lady doing all the hard work. So, some summery drinks…
I really like the look and sound of this strawberry summer water from Jessica Merchant at How Sweet It Is. And, if you liked, instead of using fresh or sparkling water you could chose a very light white wine instead. (In passing Jessica says she’s only ever been to a spa once in her life!!!! Come on guy, pay for her to go to a cool spa!!!)
Strawberry Summer Water
The ever-artistic Heather Christ has these apricot gin and tonics. Heather says they are perfect for summer sipping, and I for one believe her.

For some unknown reason, we English drink Pimms in summer ~ never did like the stuff myself. However, Tieghan Gerard at Half Baked Harvest has an interesting take on Pimms with her strawberry melon elderflower Pimms cup. Looks very nice indeed.

This watermelon, fresh herbs, & sotol cocktail from Todd at Honestly Yum sounds very cooling. I suppose that if you’re all out of sotol you could get by with tequila instead.

Todd & Diane, the White On Rice Couple, have this great post about a great drink; the watermelon margarita. Want to know how to make the perfect watermelon margarita? Then just click on the link.

Finally for now, from the lovely Averie Sunshine, I bring you grilled pineapple strawberry lemonade sangria. I ask you, what’s not to like?

Flowers on Friday
In a field of roses, I am but a wildflower.
she is as a wildflower meadow, beautiful and untamed
no matter what befalls, she is washed clean by spring rains

Flowers for Love
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
not every woman loves the same flower
nor wants the same flower from her love

Flowers for Friendship
the kiss of the sun for pardon
the song of the birds for mirth
you are nearer your love in a garden
than anywhere else on earth

how could it be that we let our love fall
when there were times in our lives that we had it all

Trump Is Right
Obviously I know London Bridge very well indeed.
Barbaric Muslims should never have been allowed into civilised western countries.
I despise these stone age bastards.
All Muslims hate western civilisation.

Scenes on Sunday ~ Homeless
booze, drugs, casual sex, and sleeping in the dirt
Shopping carts that run away from their store almost always come to a bad end. Pity the poor homeless shopping cart with nowhere to go and no one to care.
I believe that it’s morally wrong to take shopping carts away from their store. I would also like to believe that it’s young guys who engage in this kind of unethical behaviour. I hope I’m not wrong about that. I would hate to think that any woman would allow a shopping cart to become a homeless derelict.

Oceans Apart
A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.
~
across the ocean, you are so far away
I want to wake with you, to the sound of the waves
crashing white on each brand new day
life is what happens, when you’re making plans
and all that you need is right there in your hands
