Today is sweltering hot. Not a breeze is stirring.
The dog is sprawled out on the cool tiles, ears drooping.
The little birds are sitting quietly on the perch, spreading their wings.
What scent can one endure in these temperatures?
Clearly: C `est la fete.
It reminds one of Caribbean days, lying in a deck chair, being served long drinks made from passion fruit, apricot, and pear by coffee-brown beauties with flowers in their hair.
So refreshing!
It smells of orchids, and a mild rose scent brushes the nose.
In the background, you can hear the rhythmic sounds of a steel band - and if it weren't so hot, one would dance.
C`est la fete is a refreshing, invigorating celebration for the senses.
