The first shot of that lovely rose looks to be dusted with rouge powder...sublime.
ReplyDeleteI am enchanted by the speckled rose!

I'll take one of those espressos over ice cream! Mmm.
ReplyDeleteYes, he really did find a lovely vintage wrench! Pretty lines...a work of art. :^)
Ah Merisi, on this hot August evening in New York, how refreshing to browse through these deliciously refreshing Viennese recipes.
ReplyDeleteAnd then. You quote Mungo Jerry, and I am transported in my own private time machine to sometime in the early 1970's. There are not that many other folks who still know that song. Or am I wrong. xo
How beautiful is that rose!!? Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteAh! Soda and lemon or lime is the summer drink of choice at this ranch!
ReplyDeleteI love that Operetta Rose. The drinks are not shabby either.
ReplyDeletethe summer in Vienna is such a wonderful thing!
