Summer update

Temperatures in the searing thirties, with a soothing wind, and thunderstorms constantly just under the horizon.
Summer here in Carmine is in full swing just as Enid Blyton would have liked. The gardens and the children are rampant and the vacationing adults are laid back. There's a homemade water-wheel under a waterfall, and a hot dog in the old lavatoio. There are picnics and rowing boats and sailing boats and blow-up rubber boats. And hydrangea blooming everywhere.


Hydrangea, Carmine Superiore.

“The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.” - Douglas Adams
