Mais diário de viagem, mais uma música 
More Summer Travel Diary and one more song about it ;)

"...Um perfume bom
Propagandas de batom
Fantasias pra usar no carnaval
Desatinos, corpos quentes, vendaval
Tudo me faz lembrar você

Sea, sex and sun
Tudo me faz lembrar você..."

It's amazing how music can say things you're feeling sometimes...

"When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep...

Still lying underneath the stormy skies
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I know the sun's set to rise

This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh..."

Paradise, by Coldplay

Swam water for time
Searching places just
to find
A piece of something
to call mine
(I'm coming)
A piece of something
to call mine
(I'm coming)
(I'm coming)
Coming closer to you...

...I'm moving,
I'm coming

Can you hear what I hear?

It's calling you,
my dear

Out of reach

(Take me to my beach)

I can hear it,
calling you

I'm coming,
not drowning

Swimming closer to you...

Take me to my beach"

oh! and of course... the camera to take a lot of photos!

btw there's more to come ;)

fui para praia!

sorry my sweet and cute readers!
I'm going to the beach and won't be able to update the blog from there.. 

Wait for travel diary with lots of sun, sand, sea and fashion ;)

dreaming with a glamorous summer vacation... it could be just like this, no problem!

In the summer when it is really hot I seldom like to cook dinner. We all feel that fresh cool food is way more appropriate. It's the time for delicious salads!

The family favorite is Caprese - tomatoes, mozzarella, basil leaves, olive oil, aceto balsamico, salt and pepper, and a good ciabatta to go with it, accompanied by a refreshing rosé wine - ah, that's the life!

We also love to create Southwestern style salads with tomatoes, some greens, onions, cucumber, avocado, some spicy chicken, a dollop of sour cream and tortilla strips or garlic bread.

And sometimes the Geek shows his artistic side with some radishes...

What is your favorite food to eat for dinner on hot summer days?

A couple of weeks ago, the local nursery where I usually shop for all my plants and gardening needs celebrated its 115th anniversary with a wonderful midsummer night. I love to go there because the moment you step into the nursery you are transferred into a different world - a world of color, scent and peacefulness. The staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable - there is no question they cannot answer. 90% of all the plants come from local growers and they offer a lot of organic stuff. Their vegetables so far have never disappointed me.

Being a regular customer, Kaefer and I attended their midsummer night, like so many other people. There were cookies and lemonade and some yummy fiesta food.

You could spin the wheel and win a plant (Kaefer did).

 You could look at beautiful roses and potted plants, and of course there were rows of veggies.

Water tickled from a fountain, and someone played the guitar nearby.

Toward the end of the evening we attended a demonstration how to plant hanging baskets for a shady spot and a big plant for a mainly sunny location - didn't they turn out beautifully?

Do you want to see my favorites? These guys - I just adore them!
