winter in São Paulo


Winter just will start next 23th June, but the temperatures here have been about 13 to 18 Celsius degrees. It is seems warm for my European friends, but for a tropical country is really cold. In fact, our winter is really "humid". Under a blanket and two duvets I felt myself, last week, as a new born baby...I couldn´t move myself with the burden of duvets. By the way, central heating is not so common here. However, food is perfect good in winter, especially Brazilian food.

I would like to share this picture with my friends: Cozinha na Roça, "Kitchen in the small farm" by Pedro Alexandrino Borges.

Hello Ruth,
Such an inviting and comforting image. The copper kettle reflects the light so beautifully. I truly appreciate the artistry of
Pedro Alexandrino Borges. Thank you for posting.

Stay warm.

Thank you for stopping by. In answer to your question, Yes, that is one of my paintings. I am inspired by the sky. It offers such beauty. Best always, Rose Marie

Living in New York all my life, the concept of winter in June is so foreign to me. You are wished the season's best bounty and joy.

Dear Mark and "Choices", thanks for coming. When it is Christmas it is summer and extremely hot here in Brazil. It is strange in our summer in December watch films with snow and characters wearing many clothes. Best wishes,
Rosana
