gimme summer

went for a long walk around mitchell and jameson parks this evening with shayna. it was one of those beautiful peaceful and calm evenings, where the weather is so hot that you cant help but stick to every item of your clothing despite wearing very, very little ones. when its overcast with a breeze, but the breeze is barely able to cool your skin, let alone lower your temperature enough to call yourself cold. in other words it was a great time to grab big rich icecreams and wander slowly through rose gardens and pretty flower beds gossiping. times like these make me love living in this town. the g&t's that followed these made it even better. sigh. gotta love the summer times.

oh just to let the concerned readers know- while i was away galavanting around the countryside my mother slyly pulled out some of the weaker spinach plants. i was heartbroken to realise the travasty but there are still a few survivors left in the wings. they arent looking half bad actually, so i still hold out some hope for the little fellas. perhaps one day, if they dream big enough, there is a bowl of salad or side serving of creamed spinach waiting for them. in the meantime they just simply look like lame little sickly plants in my veggie patch. not much to aspire to i suppose. perhaps i should try to talk to them- it may make them happier. perhaps i should also lay off the g&t's more too, but thats another story for another day. oh and totally dont like the red.
