Frenzied spring gardening has morphed into mostly watering and pulling some beets and carrots from time to time.
So there's lots of time available to lounge under our ivy-covered pergola overlooking the potager while consuming vats of Banana Agua Fresca (recipe) as temperatures approach 36 degrees C (97 degrees F) in the coming week . . .
. . . and reading these books (reviews to follow) as summer unfolds:
Notorious RBG: The Life And Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon
Against Empathy: The Case For Rational Compassion by Paul Bloom
The Intimacies Of Four Continents by Lisa Lowe
The Calm One recently got us some solar lamps. They are lovely on their own, but with a full moon and stars blinking in a clear night sky overhead, all is enchanted.
May your beaux jours (literal translation: beautiful days, that is, summer) be enjoyable, interesting, and most of all relaxing! Souped-up Garden will return in August.
