Ok, that was a bad pun.  But I just had to be done.

I hadn’t noticed my little owl doing a photo bomb until I pulled the photo off the camera.

It made me smile.

Hope he made you smile as well.

Happy Tuesday!

I love a good quote as much as a good cup of tea. Yogi Tea gives me both.

 

This one is just perfect for today. I’ve been learning about grace…something I didn’t believe existed. Amazing the things we can see or hear when we just pay attention.

The two best words when you are a kid.

I don’t mind getting a call at 5:45AM when it’s that kind of news. Always makes I heart skip a beat until I know what it is though.

We’ve been out and cleared round one of the snow but it’s coming down pretty fierce again.20130305_1483

I had to get out the heavy machinery.  I like using the snow blower, to be completely honest.  But there’s always cleaning up to be done with the shovels anyway. Good thing I had two helpers today. :)

We tried to get Gracie to come explore in the snow but she wanted nothing to do with it after a few flakes hit the top of her head.

Now it’s time for a cup of tea…and hey, it’s Tuesday!

Tea Tuesday…I haven’t been a part of that tradition in a long time.

And then French Toast for lunch. Yum…I love breakfast for lunch.

It’s been a long time since I had a Tea Tuesday post…mostly since I always have a super busy Tuesday and I don’t often schedule my posts. Likely because I’m not very good at planning ahead. I’m sort of a fly by the seat of my pants type of girl. 

 I just had to show you the teacup candles I made. 
Once again, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long, long time but just never did…until now.

I’m totally in love with them. They turned out perfectly.  
I couldn’t have imagined better results! 
Hooray! Love it when something comes out right!

 

This is what I’m drinking this morning instead of tea. It’s a recipe I discovered on Pinterest.

I tried it yesterday since I had everything on hand and was so surprised at how good it tasted. You can’t taste the spinach at all!!

Here’s a link to the recipe.

I’ll be swinging by Kimmie’s blog later to see what my friends are up today…you should too!

 

I’m raising my glass to Kimmie and my Tea Tuesday friends. My glass happens to have juice instead of tea today.

I’ve come up with my own flavor combo that is pleasing to my taste buds. It did take some trial and error with some pretty nasty glasses of juice to choke down.

I have so much more energy and less cravings for “naughty foods” on days that I juice first thing in the morning…well, second thing.  I have to have a cup of coffee first thing.

Halle’s morning power juice:

1 beet
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1 inch chunk fresh ginger

Organic veggies taste the best but I have made my juices without when I couldn’t find what I wanted.

I currently have a Jack LaLanne power juicer but what I really want is a Champion Juicer.  My parents had one when I was a kid. It was avocado green. Yup…it was the 70’s.  I drank carrot juice with bee pollen sprinkled on top most mornings.  Hated it then.  I would hold my nose and slam it down.
Funny how our taste buds change over time.


Happy Tuesday everyone!

 

I never realized that I’d be busy over summer.
Honestly, I don’t know where the times goes.
I’m afraid my Tea Tuesday friends from Kimmie’s blog may have forgotten about me or worse, thought I forgot about them.
I’m skipping the tea for today and going for a big glass of ice water.
We’ve had so much rain here. Now high temps and humidity…with more storms due tonight.

My garden is mud…
Luckily the plants aren’t seeming to mind.

I’ve got tomatoes on every plant.

In addition to gardening, I’ve been “home-schooling” this summer. Trying to keep the kids brains engaged so they can retain the info they’ve already learned. 

Other craft goodness has been on the agenda as well. 
We just came home from knitting group… 
And I’ve been sewing as well. 
So I guess when you add up everything going on, it’s not to difficult to see where the time went. 
What’s keeping you busy this summer?
