Thursday #437. Summer finally arrived in the north-wet coast

Yes it is very hot here too after a long and wet spring.
My flowers are having a blast.
I am hiding inside with the AC.

Strawberry lemonade sounds great to me. We did have storms this morning and dropped our temps into the 80s. That will end Saturday when the temps will be back in the 100s.

That sounds great. I have some raspberry vodka to add if anyone's interested.

I spoke too soon. The clouds have returned. Momo - one strawberry lemonade before it gets too hot.

Smokey - do you want that raspberry vodka straight-up or with the lemonade?

Mari - I'm happy for your flowers and hope that your AC keeps on working.

done.

Sure been quiet at the bar this week. Everyone must be hung over from the 4th of July festivities. I'll just sneak another strawberry-lemonade. The temp and humitity is back again.

It's been a week of insanity. I'll take a large irish please, and a couple hundred feet of det cord to "repair" a certain car.....

I was brave this week*, and tried some fresh raspberries, not sure whether I would be allergic to them or not. I have a ton of food allergies, so am always wary ... but they are in season, on sale and .... guess what???? No reaction whatsoever! Yay! I had raspberries on my cereal two days in a row, and have suffered no ill consequences! Yay! Party time!

Anyone up for ice cream with raspberries? A good vanilla ice cream with raspberries slightly crushed with a bit of sugar ... anyone wanna share?

I am very happy about this! I am allergic to strawberries and cranberries are absolutely verboten by my allergist - they've never seen a reaction like mine to cranberries, apparently, so now I know both blueberries AND raspberries are safe, I am a happy person.



*The reactions that I have range from anaphlactic (life-threatening) to gastro-intestinal - and that's sometimes throwing up for sometimes 12-16 hours, so it DOES require bravery to try something I am unsure of - as I really hate vomitting.
