BEAUTY CORNER




Our tiny backyard is in full bloom now! The oleander (white flowers) have a great fragrance. The bourganvillea is actually planted on the other side of the wall - it came over. Andy put up the sunshade, as you can see, to try and protect my tomatoes (back wall of photo) but they are starting to die from the heat.
Our maid made dinner for us last night - shrimp curry - it was so good! She also made some crepe like things out of coconut milk that were very tasty. Of course our propane gas tank ran empty while she was cooking. There are 2 back there and I swear we had one full one and one we were working on (we probably did have an extra full one - they are notorious for leaking!)Couldn't get a new cylinder delivered right away so she had to go to neighboring friends to finish cooking. I got one new cylinder this AM (won't buy two cause I am leaving).
Very dusty and windy outside today. Think of opening the oven and having a blast of gritty air hit you - not pleasant at all.
