So glad I'm finally back at T stands for.... Today I'd like to share with you a glass of ice cold lemonade. DH and I don't drink a l ot of lemonade or other soft drinks, as we usually drink mineral water (uhhh, yes, healthy drinking *LOL*). Bit today I bought two bottles of our favorite lemonade. Already in the fridge, as we have a heatwave.
Haven't been here for a long time, as I didn't feel the urge for blogging. So what did I do? Lots of painting, knitting and ofc gardening.
There are some gorgeous calendula flowers in my garden. I collected the seeds for years and you never know what you get. All different.
And look at my potatoes! The plants in the potato tower are almost as tall as I am. Hope there are many potatoes underneath. :)
I participated in a fun art challenge on Twitter called "Mermay 2021". There was a prompt list for each day of May and you had to paint, draw, photograph etc. a piece each day for that prompt. Fun! I chose to paint each piece on an A6 postcard.
Not sure, if I showed you this yarn already. I bought it before Christmas 2020 from a local shepherd in a crowdfunding and got it some weeks ago. Started to knit a vest with it and it's gorgeous!
So glad I'm back abd can share a drink with you!
A cold lemonade is good in not weather, I am drinking Cola! Happy T Day, Valerie
AntwortenLöschenThe lemonade looks so refreshing - yum! Such beautiful photos of your garden and it sounds like you've been busy, loving the postcards and colours of the yarn - perfect 😁. Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
AntwortenLöschenA cold lemonade sounds perfect for summer, we drink allot of iced tea too.
AntwortenLöschenCalendula flowers are one of my most favorite herbs I use it in my soaps and lotions too, can be used many ways. always feels good to back into our arts and crafts-pretty yarn.
Happy T wishes
Your lemonade sounds good, dear. I would love some, too, but I'll drink my cold coffee instead. Your garden is beautiful. I tried to grow potatoes once and got a few, but not enough to store over the winter. I'm sure you will get lots from the looks of things.
AntwortenLöschenYou draw so well, dear. I am in awe of then all, but the birds and the lighthouse drew my attention. I love how you colored everything, too.
Thanks for sharing your art, your garden, and your lemonade with us for T this Tuesday. I have added your name to the list to make an ATC, too.
Thank you! Need to contact you the next days to ask some quaestions, if I may. Don't want to do anything wrond on the ATC swap. ;)
LöschenI'm a fan of mineral water, as well as tonic water during the hot months. Love your sea themed art!! Happy T day!
AntwortenLöschenYes, we drink lots of mineral water during the hot season. Lemonade/softdrinks are only a special treat.
LöschenI enjoy lemonade sometimes, too, though I don't know that brand. Happy T Tuesday!
AntwortenLöschenAs usual American English differs from other versions -- we use the word lemonade for a non-carbonated drink made from lemons and sugar.

I'm not sure, what the correct wording is in this case. Maybe a soft drink? Yes, lemonade was a drink made from sugar and lemons here, too, but more in the old days, I think, like something my Grandma would call it. The German word is "Limonade".
LöschenYour paintings are fabulous and I love that most of the prompts were sea themed.
AntwortenLöschenLovely colored yarn.
That certainly is a lot of potato leaves. I hope mine get as large.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I bought some lemonade today also. Like you, I don't usually buy it, but with the heat right now, it sure tastes good. Your yarn colors are beautiful. And I hope you get potatoes. I have never tried to grow potatoes so I am curious to see if you get some. I hope you had a wonderful T day, and glad you joined us again. hugs-Erika
AntwortenLöschenLemonade is something we like here, too. Happy T Day!
AntwortenLöschenCold lemonade is always a treat especially during these hotter days. Happy T-day a bit late (I had to work a lot yesterday). Love your cool yarn - I know your creation will be extra special. I am totally impressed with your art - wow - you are very talented. I see you are doing the ATC with Elizabeth and I will send mine to you so I need your address - can you email it to me at kwilliams6@elmore.rr.com? Great post!
AntwortenLöschenOhhh lemonade yum. You have been so busy with so many different things. That flower is beautiful as is all of your art. Stay cool there.
AntwortenLöschenIt's good to go tho the fridge for cold drink. Your garden looks so good but best of all are your 'Mermay2021' cards! Love them! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
AntwortenLöschenGrapefruit and blood oranges. That sounds like really nice drinks. We don't have those here, but I like to drink elderflower cordial with fizzy water, and I also love grapefruit juice.
AntwortenLöschenYourwater colours are beautiful!
Wow those potatoes! Your garden is certainly growing well.
The yarn is beautiful. How much does it weigh? Is that enough?
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Oh yum, elderflower cordial! Juices are great, too. The yarn is about 100 grams each ball, DK weight, which ist about 220 metres and yes, it will hopefully be enough for a vest.
LöschenWe're having a heatwave so the lemonade would be a perfect beverage. The calendula is beautiful and I'll have to tell Himself about the potato tower. Wonderful mermay collection and the yarn is so pretty. Happy T Day
