Glimpse of Summer.....

Its hot today!!
Im so happy I dont work on Mondays as Ive just wanted to lounge around at home today and just chill and hangout with my boys.

I cut some of my hydrangeas from my garden this morning - they are such old fashioned flowers but so pretty arent they?

Peter has been bare foot all day.......


I got a moment to myself after lunch and flicked through the new Donna Hay magazine, I loved the two images below. Summer always reminds me of hot nights and fragrant flowers
and who doesnt love a cold punch on a hot day?


Pimms & Apple Punch
700ml Pimms
4 litres apple juice
1 cup mint leaves
1 cucumber thinly sliced
1 lemon thinly sliced
2 red apples, cored and thinly sliced
6 cups crushed ice

Hydrangea's are my favorite flowers! Love all the pictures. The Donna Hay magazine is a great one! So funny that it's starting to be summer there and winter here. Enjoy your day!

I'm surprised hydrangeas grow there. We can't grow them here in Arizona. It's too dry. I love them though. Thanks for showing us.

Glad that you enjoyed yesterday because it is set to be a lot hotter today. Me ... I hate summer and am hanging out for December and my flight out of here, headed for Heathrow and points west :-)

Have a nice Tuesday.
