This was not my breakfast
Our John reckons that this beer looks like something they might drink in The Hobbit! But I have not been the mad scientist again. If you look closely you will see the tree hut!
It was so beautiful and warm yesterday evening that TonTon and the cats and I sat out on the verandah.
We had a cold beer and watched the sun go down.
I will be loading a few more of last summer’s garden pages onto the FACEBOOK Page every day or so. The Kitchen’s Garden Project FaceBook Page is all about gardens, sharing gardens, helping our neighbours build their gardens and the food and friendship that gardens grow. So if YOU have any vegetable garden pictures, old or new. Or posts you wrote that would interest us all, or books you have read, please feel free to put them up on the page as well. Let me know in the comments, or email, with the link or I will pop your name in as an administrator if you want to post ideas and tips frequently. This is a community page! 
Don’t forget to press LIKE here and on the FB page. We need to get the word out that gardens are cool.
The sun is rising. It is going to be another beautiful warm day. But there are dangers for the bees in this fluctuating weather so I am going to work with them a bit today. I will update you on how the bees are tomorrow.

So you drink beer in a wine glass?!! I’ve never been a beer drinker but it actually looks good presented in that glass!! cool photo!!
Yup, beer goes in a big red wine glass! .. it feels more civilised that way!! (laughter) .. c
Mah-velous!
Thanks Rosemary.. c
That’s a fabulous photo, Celi, and you’re right – looks otherworldly. I’m curious just what temperature you consider warm where you were sitting outside with a beer in January. We are up to 10C which is 50F, and it feels quite warm. Deceptive though.
Exactly the same, about 50, but i still wear my coat as the wind is cold even so.. c
The thought of hobbit beer warms my heart! We spent five days in September at a small Tolkien convention held at Shaker Village just six miles from our home! Ritchey was Lord Elrond and I, his wife, Lady Celebrian. I’m sure I have pictures – and a blog or two from this summer’s adventures in gardening!
How wonderful, were you in costume the whole 5 days.. that must have been something.. looking froward to your links for the FB.. everyone loves gardens .. c
It’s supposed to get up near 50 today. People will be rolling around in their convertibles with the tops down LOL. Great shot as always even if I am more of a wine/cider girl than beer. t
I love pear cider, it will be interesting to see how johns is, maybe we will taste some on the verandah tonight.. c
Ah, warm temps here in MN yesterday, too. Oh, how I wish I could have sat with you on the veranda sipping beer from a wine glass watching the sun set. I can see that it was a gorgeous sun set. I miss the prairie sunsets, living here in town, down in the valley.
Now that i am out here on the prairie, the town sky seems so small.. I can understand you missing it! c
We like you on Facebook! We like you here too. Hee, hee. Don’t let Ton Ton drink too much beer.
TonTon has to learn not to guzzle! Such a greedy boy.. c
SItting on the veranda in January! Who knew? And wIth a forecast of 54*, today’s going to be a scorcher! So glad I rushed out to get that new snowblower in November. We best enjoy this while it lasts. I’m afraid we’re due for a rude awakening on some not-so-distant morning. I better double check the snowblower’s gas can.
I just love it. and i suppose we can blame you for the weather, thats what you get for being prepared for cold weather!! c
Love that reflection in the glass on the second shot…it almost looks like an etching.
It is rather gorgeous and colourful too! c
Gosh from below freezing to warm weather in a few days. The weather can be very capricious. Glad to hear you didn’t have the beer for breakfast!
NO, but I might be able to have another one this evening, today is coming out nice and warm too!! c
Cheers!
Ears!! c
that is just the coolest photo of the beer! that should be a beer label!
Hi Jaz, it certainly makes beer LOOK good! c
What a beautiful photo! 🙂
Thanks hon.. c
Both photos are amazing…as are our January temps!
Now, if the dratted wind would stop blowing…
Enjoy your verandah sunsets!
Doesn’t that wind wear you out!! c
Beautiful photos. Beer looks so much classier in a wine glass. 🙂
Tastes better too Robin!! Nice to see you.. c
The light through the beer and the glass is beautiful. And how lucky you can sit out at sunset at this time of year!
Quite a treat being outside, I am certainly not going to argue.. c
Lovely reflections in those glasses. Please take care of the bees.
Hmm the bees are having a hard time, they are wishing the weather would make up its mind! c
I won’t even tell you people what the temp has been here in TX since the end of the year. But it’s impressive what y’all are having, all the same, and makes a perfect excuse for a drinkie on the verandah, and *that* is the very definition of good weather, I should think. 🙂 I absolutely love those photos. You *know* I’ll be stealing the idea, of course!
Love,
Kathryn
I bet you are walking about chatting to the bobcat barefoot, with a glass of something cold in your hand! I hope you steal the idea kathryn, we can call it research! c
The tree hut looks kinda cool in the glass of beer – a great capture!
Liked your FB page!
Thank you barb and have a great evening!! c
Believe it on not, I actually prefer drinking beer out of my wine glasses. 🙂
So do I and i thought of you this evening when we fired up the grill.. it is that lovely!! c
Nice photos! It does look like it would have an earthy flavor.
Ah yes, you are right they look like roots!! ah ha ha ..c
What fabulous photos, Celi! They’re very arty! 🙂
I love the inversion. it looks like a miniature, magical world.
ARgggg…I remember frost on windows like that. It’s been years. Deliciously lengthy, not-touching-me and much warmer years. Okay so I miss nature’s artwork a little.
Well, it’s late or I’m the only dense one here.. I was trying to figure out what on earth got into your wine, er beer glass? The second photo help… and was my favorite one because of the building in it:) I’ve liked you on facebook…I’ve got a page up myself and if you get a chance you could like me back:) That would make me very happy!
ps I don’t have a garden… of any size or shape… so I live vicariously through you:)
Fantastic photos! And here in the bars they often serve draught beer in wine glasses – especially for the Laydeeeeez!
Love these photos. You have such a wonderful artists eye. My only comment about the wine glass is that it doesn’t look large enough to hold the full 12 ounces. Might I recommend an upgrade?
Hi Cecilia, What fabulous photos!! Hope all is well. Off to see what else you have been up to. I have missed your blog over the last few weeks.
Regards Florence x
This looks like a great end to the day 🙂 Cheers. And Good morning!
I cannot believe the warm temperatures that we are seeing everywhere! Enjoy.
i have a question for you! i went to the store this morning to buy cream to make butter and there is no cream that is not ultra pasteurized. what should i do?
Oh how boring.. well buy the heavy cream or whipping cream, there will still be a fat content, I think it might take longer to turn into butter though. I know that kids do this in schools and i bet they use the ultra.. give it a go and let me know how it turns out and remember to start when it is room temperature.. good luck! c
You have solved the bad rap that beer gets. It isn’t the beer – it’s the bottle – or gulp – the can! In the glass it looks like it should have a vintage and a cork and come from a brewery high in the Alps where the cows wear bells and eat flowers.
What a great comment! .. I can’t drink out of a can, it is too much like sipping!.. have a great weekend renee..!!
Great pic Celi!
Thanks Frank! c
thanks so much! i will try it as soon as my chrun arrives and let you know how it comes out!
maybe you can find someone in the area with a cow in the spring, how exciting to get a new butter churn! c
I think drinking beer in wine glass is how kiwis do it, I only saw that when I lived here in Auckland, even some bars do it.
I did wonder!.. c
Magnificent first photo C – I am still waiting on my camera… SOON I hope!
🙂 Mandy
Keep practicing with your old one though.. we want to see lots of your food! c
