Time for a little Flash Fiction courtesy of the Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction Challenge by Charli Mills As always the prompt is accompanied by a wonderful post from Charli Mills and this week it is about gardening…and explores the differences between those of us who plan our gardens meticulously and those of us who prefer to throw caution to the wind along with our bulbs and seeds. Perhaps you can head over and let her know which type of gardener you are….
I thought I would have a little fun this week…. but I should add a little note… about drinking responsibly….

Ha, ha! At least the recipe comes with a disclaimer. I might give this a go (one only!) after some gardening.

Haha, I have mint plants everywhere in the garden in front and in back of the house because my husband wanted me to grow mint when he started drinking Mojito, but it was with a lime twist though. I think yours is sweet and I like it better.

Sounds delicious. At 4oz of rum per drink, I better find someone to share the three drinks.
