There isn’t much I mind about
the coming of autumn. Cooler temperatures and less time cutting grass are much
anticipated. This summer has been rather brutal for me, too. Severe allergies,
a hornets nest, swarming ants, and other garden related mishaps are just some
of the indignities.
I will miss it when our black
vultures and hummingbirds leave the area. The same goes for the damsel-,
dragon-, and butterflies, which have been prolific this year. So have the
spiders, and I can’t say I mind as they mostly stayed outdoors.
There is something else I am
truly sorry to see go. Zima, I will miss you. I hope you come back next summer.

I’ve asked this before, but
since this beverage made another limited appearance in the United States
(at least), I’ll question again if you’ve ever tasted this refreshing adult
drink.
I've never had a Zima. We still have two months of summer left. Here in California the best boating of the year is September and October. Everyone else leaves and us boaters have the water.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Labor Day. ♥
Sounds like heaven! That's why and when I like visiting the Outer Banks. ~grin~ Be safe and have fun, my dear.
DeleteI've never heard of it! I looked it up, and good news for you, the recipe is online! I guess it's lemon-lime vodka.
ReplyDeleteWe found a recipe, too. But those folks claimed never to have drunk the stuff, though, having been too young back in the day. So how would they know? ~grin~ What you found sounds a bit different, so thank you.
DeleteZima was big in the '90s, right? I recall it. Never had it. It's carbonated and alcoholic. I don't do either.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, and probably better off. Be well!
DeleteI will miss fresh veggies, but luckily we are still getting cukes and zucchini. Never had Zima. How long does it keep? Maybe you could stock up.
ReplyDeleteWe bought quite a few six packs, but drinking one a day was too tempting through this hot summer. They're almost gone. ~sigh~ I'm relieved our cucumber vines died back after he pickled over 70 jars! Be well, my dear.
DeleteI too hope zima does come back on shelves next summer.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Yeah! Enjoy your coffee. It's a cute catchphrase.
DeleteZima. I think I"ve had it before a long time ago, but I haven't seen it around here this summer. Where do you get yours?
ReplyDeleteAlmost every type of store stocked it from what I saw. But that's over. ~sigh~ Best wishes to you, my dear!
DeleteZima sounds great! I'm going to look up recipe now.
ReplyDeleteIt is yummy, for sure. So refreshing. Be well! And thank you for stopping by, my dear.
DeleteI have not tasted that but I mainly stick to my tea....a beer here and there but since my surgery I basically walked away from adult drinks. Hell, I used to be able to drink others under the table, 1/2 beer and clean liver, and I have a buzz.
ReplyDeleteYour efforts to improve your health are so admirable. ~hugs~ I wish you reaped the rewards you deserve.
