    Tea Tuesday

    July 26, 2011 - By 

    My summer drink of choice tends to be ice water with lemon slices and a bag of green tea.  The tea doesn’t “brew” since it’s ice water but it definitely flavors the water.

    Today I have Yogi Lemon Ginger Green tea flavored water.

    I love today’s quote….

    Hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Flags and a garden update

    July 22, 2011 - By 

    So I go out to check the side garden this morning and the deer have eaten the tops off my green beans and snow pea plants. Wasn’t that nice of them…pesky things.  So I decided that maybe some flags would scare them…create some movement…and generally get in the way of their snacking. Bonus…I think they look cute.  We’ll see what happens.

    The garden box is also doing very well.  There are tons of little green tomatoes on the plants.

    Check it out …

    Nature is funny at times.

    Look want I found today

    I think they are baby wrens. The mama of these 3 tiny babies is pretty small herself.  The nest is only about 3 feet off the ground in our dwarf lilac bush along the front walk. She was scolding me from a nearby tree for peeking in on her brood while I snapped a quick picture.
