Whitebark Stream Margaritas for all

Over the course of his life Merlin would learn that women were like bees - you never knew, what to expect from them.

It was not as if he had told her plainly - oy, you look like a scarecrow. He had told nothing but truth (a thing he would learn later on too - being honest rarely paid off).
