Yesterday was at “broil” setting, so we just chilled inside for the most part.  I’m thankful the power stayed on.  You never know around here.  Misu is an expert at chilling.

These okras just soak up the rays.  The hotter, the better.  A true southerner.

Here are two colorful homemade summer drinks (not from the same day): a ginger cosmopolitan and a blue margarita.  E may not drink much, but she makes up for it by attempting to mix my eclectic drink requests.
