Here in Canada, the weather has become super hot, even though like you we had our fair share of rain. I think I will relax with this smoothie any day, but especially during this hot wave of temperatures!
Joanie says
I was just in Calgary last week for the Stampede and it was warmer than I expected - much less humid though. I think I could probably go for a smoothie just about anytime.
