Summer time

 Once upon a time we returned from the UK via Indonesia .The door of the plane opened and we were hit with the familiar heat , humidity and smells of almost home .

As much as summer heat is hard to take l still love it . I don't mind working outside in the early morning or moving from shady place to a more shady place .  The dog sensibly will laze on the verandah or sneak inside to the darkness of the old house.  

She (Cocoa the dog,) really wonders what l am doing . Gardening again ! 

I stumble inside covered in dirt and sweat often with the familiar itch of a tick or a leech drink water like a fish .I head for the shower vowing to stay inside for the rest of the day and stay clean .Ha Ha , as the cool afternoon arrives l will be back outside for sure.
