So after a tempting week of warmer temperatures in the usually warm Southern California, we have been once again plunged into days of drizzle and gray. Yes, I’d like cheese and crackers with this whine!
Anyway, I forged ahead this past Mother’s Day weekend with work in the garden and an eye on the future spring/summer temperatures that will undoubtedly arrive and stay at some point.
With summer temperatures visualization in mind (visualization is supposed to work to make it so, right?) I thought I would post a couple of really delicious beverages that can make you indifferent to outside temperatures. 🙂
