It was so hot yesterday. I got up early and spent a few hours weeding and tending to my flowers. Then I cut some herbs from my herb garden and put them into bags to freeze. I left some rosemary out in my kitchen it has such a lovely aroma and put some dill aside to make a sauce to go with the salmon I was cooking for supper. The only downside to working outside was I forgot to apply mosquito spray and my body became a tasty meal for the tiny vampires. I then made an avocado cheesecake and some butter tarts for my son. Those are his favourite.
In the afternoon I took a drive 30 minutes outside the city to a cider making company. They make all their own cider there. I did some tasting and bought a couple of bottles of cider. While I was there I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen in many years. We got some cold drinks and sat in the sun catching up. We reminisced about an overnight camping trip we did 4 years ago. There is a lake about 40 minutes outside the city and we camped in a tent there once. He cooked sausages and we drank wine. Then we lay on a blanket looking at the stars. Simple but romantic. It brought a smile to my face remembering it. We used to do a lot of stuff together. He likes photography and we used to take long walks and hikes. It was a more intimate relationship back then too. It wasn't until we were chatting that I realized I had missed that. We promised to not lose touch again and I truly hope we can meet and chat again
But first, on earth as vampire sent,
Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race... - Lord Byron
