Roof terrace opening...

                                             

Summertime

and the living is easy

      and the cotton is high……

     End of May…

I woke up in a summer mood, whispering this lovely song,

refreshed and ready to act.Things left behind all these days,

my roof garden… Friday night we had one of these terrible 

drizzles full of mud coming from Africa. Everything outside 

was dirty and bedraggled, my blue car was unrecognizable!

 Panic…but also very eager to update the outside area.

At this time of year, I’m always happy because finally summer 

is around the corner and long summer evenings and dinners 

on the veranda are all ahead. When the temperatures are high 

and the sea breeze strengthens, the only place we can escape to

and continue breathing is our terrace as it's on the second floor 

of our house.Of course, all activitiestake place only 

after 21 pm or very early in the morning.  

                       

The problem which always appears in summer is called mosquitoes.

So, we read that herbs help to repel these bad flying insects and

we have planted thyme, rosemary, lavender and basil

all around the other plants. 

 

                  

         

                                   

After three hours of work,

I deserve some home made iced lemonade !

It’s exquisite and offered by a lovely lady as the “Amaryllis Minerva”
If somedoby is interesting I can give you the recipe,
I suppose organic lemons are all that you need.

I think life needs simple things to be beautiful

 plants which were going bad this winter are flowering

fresh love made lemonade

      sweet thoughts for bloggers never seen...

I hope the sun’s warmth arrives everywhere…

Sending you sweet thoughts and the day's melody...
