When old becomes new…

Isn’t if funny when something which has been around for quite some suddenly become new and hip to the in crowd?

Pabst Blue Ribbon is one of those things. The hipsters have brought it back into vogue and everyone is drinking it. They have renamed it PBR for short and a favorite way to drink it is called a PomBR which is pomegranate juice and PBR. First thought is eww but it actually works out !

A PomBR and a How do you Q?  are enjoying the patio at The Borough (Raleigh, NC) on the corner of Dawson and Morgan Street!

Meanwhile, in the garden the daylilies are still going strong with the wild, orange blooms everywhere! I have a ton of these in the garden.

And the spinach never ends!

I purchased a bag of spinach at the Raleigh Farmer’s Market last week and I don’t think I will ever eat it all!

I made spinach pancakes!

In the garden the Amaryllis are blooming. This variety is called St John’s Lily. I saved them from a garbage heap when some yuppies/hipsters purchased an old house and decided to clear everything out of the yard!

They are all over the yard as are the day lilies! I am glad I stopped that day and saved them from the garbage!

The temperatures are really heating up. It is regularly reaching almost 80f everyday!  The humidity will follow soon.

It’s all part of the typical Southern Summer!
