Heavy Garden Work done...now what?
 
Heavy Garden Work done...now what? What shall replace my reward for working up such a good sweat in the garden. It used to be red wine. It feels like coconut water is not special enough...a shandy maybe (just gingerale and lime LOL). Any suggestions for reward libations?

A nice iced tea and a hearty congratulations on a job well done!

Sobriety is it's own reward. I used the same thinking you did after a day of hard work. This went on for many years.
Have yourself your favorite non-alcohol drink and reflect on where that first drink of alcohol will lead you.

Great job of coming here and not taking that first drink.

Cold seltzer and lime while sitting in a chair admiring the garden work!

Tonic water or Perrier, with big lime wedges, in a beautiful glass ( not styrofoam or a paper cup). I'll be in the garden myself today :)

Sounds cheesy, but the high of a job well done usually does it for me these days. That and sparkling water with lime. The bubbles keep it from being boring ;)
