Summer rains are absolutely wonderful. To me anyways. I love hearing the sounds of the rain on my windows mixed with the sudden clashes of thunder. The weather gets cooler, and then it gets sweltering again.
Time to replace some tap washers - we have some drips, no not me! Lol!!
For Macro Mondays - Two!
Happy Macro Monday!!
Currently, it's hard to focus on my project but I hate to stop so I am just phoning it in for a bit. Just another quick recycled idea. Thanks for hanging in there with me, real life is taking over my focus and emotions right now. There are big transitions and changes which have left me anxious and drained.

This little Lincoln's Sparrow popped up from the creek from an obvious bath to see who was intruding in his area. Couldn't resist!
A photo taken at a cafe in Dong Van.
Vietnam has many unique inventions. The dripper in the photo does not need paper as coffee is filtered through pinholes in the metal plate inside. And more importantly, it is very cheap.
Coffee cultivation was first introduced to Vietnam in the mid-19th century by the French, but it was the Doi Moi economic reform in the 1980s that spurred private individual farmers to grow coffee as a cash crop, which eventually made it one of Vietnam’s major export products. Vietnam is now the second largest coffee producer in the world only next to Brazil.
With the increase of coffee production, Vietnam developed its own coffee culture.
The taste of Vietnamese coffee is similar to, but different from, French coffee and now has its own right thanks to the dripper and a distinctive roasting techniques.
Cafes are everywhere like in France, but the difference is that the stools are often very low. Someone said that the price of a cup of coffee in Vietnam is in proportion to the height of stool in the cafe. I mean, low stool cafes are cheaper.
