Summer is back
I’m quite fortunate in that my sister-in-law (pictured) is getting married on Sunday. As a result, places that hadn’t been weeded for a long time have been picked over and the compost bin is now brimming.
Earlier in the week, my wife announced “summer is back” as the heavy rain gave way to cloudless sun. There is a cooling breeze and it’s a lot less humid than previously. I’m looking forward to digging the garden and getting things prepared for the winter veg.
Kento is having his first piece of dragon fruit. He’s been taking his first steps too. Although the gravity of the achievement soon sets him down.
You’ve got a lovely boy there chief, looks like a right cheeky monkey.
As for the weather, your supposed to be coming into the nicer part of the year now, arent you? Well, the weather between the typoons I mean.

What’s a dragon fruit? It looks interesting.
Great pictures by the way! Kento is really cute.

Kento’s bright eyes tell us he is pleased with the dragon fruit…like the name…looks like watermelon. Congratulations to your sister-in-law.

Sorry for being a bit slack. Kento is a cheeky monkey but a well behaved one. I’d say winter is nicer, although I sure to start whinging once it arrives. My sister-in-law began her honeymoon in Okinawa with a typhoon, but it soon passed.
Here’s a wikipedia link to Dragon Fruit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya
After the wedding, I had the white variety. I rate the red but both are nice, if a little expensive.
