Summer means Ice Tea

Summertime, Summertime.


Here in the Northern Hemisphere we had our summer solstice,
I know in the Southern Hemisphere it's your winter solstice.  
(I love winter)
Being summer here means ice tea time, some love it all year but I'm one who drink it mostly in the summer.
Sun tea is the way I usually make my ice tea and have for more years than I can remember.
For those of you who haven't made this, what I do is use a gallon glass jar, add cold water and I use 8-10 tea bags (cup bags). Sit it outside in the sun and in about 2 - 4 hours it should be done.
Now this is my favorite ice tea but I have been introduced to a herbal tea that has become a new favorite.
I don't mind herbal teas but just haven't found one I cared for as an iced tea. 
My daughter had this at her place when I went there last month and   everyone was ranting and raving about it. So I had to try it to see what all the hooting was about.


Well you know what, it is wonderful, very refreshing.


Now on the package it mentions mixing it with lemonade and so the next time I made it I did.
YUMMY !!!!!!

I was thinking about ice tea and wonder is it as popular in other countries as it is here in the United States?

So if you live in another country, is it popular drink? 
I would love to know.
And what is your favorite tea?

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
