"Drinking and Flowers, Mostly"

Last week someone asked me, "You have a blog? What do you blog about?"

"Drinking and flowers, mostly."

I mean, it's summer. What else is there?

There are delicious drinks . . .

. . . and there are beautiful, well, in this case, deck ferns . . .

. . . our deck ferns make our deck a magical wonderland.

(And we can gaze upon those flowers from up there.)

But I realized I left out another crucially important subject matter.

Food.

Food!

Mistah made us a Summertime Meal for the Ages last night . . .

Groovy, man.

I love this effect. And you actually can see flowers in the background.

I mean, grilled salmon and grilled corn and grilled zucchini and a tomahto and onion and avocado salad all look well and good . . .

. . . but everything likes to be fancified every once in a while.

It was, quite simply, amazing.

But wait! There's more to life than drinking and flowers and food . . .

. . . there are friends . . .

. . . there are poolside parties . . .

 . . . there is live music . . .

. . . there is our beloved Ocean Beach . . .

. . . and there are our heroic firefighters -- and internet-wire-fixers -- from the New London Fire Department.

So, yeah. Drinking and Flowers . . .

. . . and oh so much more.
