I can't think of anything more refreshing during a long hot summer day than a tall glass of not-too-sweet lemonade....unfortunately, these lemons aren't very juicy, but they look pretty. I think they are late 20th c., but don't know what country they are from--but they are big--24" high.
We could carefully take our lemonade for a cool soak in a lily pond--This rug is truly phenomenal--an Edward Fields custom rug dating to the 1970s in overall very good to excellent condition. And it's big: 12' x 20'.
After a nice cooling dip in the lily pond, we could dry off on an English cast iron faux bois bench and spend the rest of the day with a great book (no smart phones or laptops, etc.) and more lemonade.
There has been record breaking heat around the world this summer--please pray for cooling temperatures and inspire neighbors to help neighbors stay cool and hydrated.
My 4th of July celebration was the best--the entire crew came for dinner and fireworks and Jones & Cole are both taking Gabopentin for arthritis, which took the edge off their terror of fireworks just enough to keep them out of my lap. (Jones can't tolerate doggie downers)
Blessings,
Mary & Jones & Cole
