I thought I would be bored this summer, but I'm discovering I'm good at filling the time. I got brave enough to turn over a section of dirt and wildflowers in the back to start my own little experimental patch. Nothing too brave to begin with- hostas, lupine and red fox. The rest of the yard is all CO practical with grasses and little water required, but this patch aspires to be Washington. I also planted some herbs.
Do you have a favorite quote from a friend? My friend Meg once said that when she was little she had the biggest crush on Almanzo from Little House on the Praire. That tickles me. She asked if
I shared her affection, but my admiration is all for Charles Wilder who knew how to do just about everything. It makes me wish current day survival skills required more than being a good shopper. I was making lemonade this morning from frozen concentrate and brewing iced tea. It occurred to me that it's rare to be served those beverages in other than a powdered form.

Additionally, the powder always makes me choke! Aaack.
i was just thinking i needed to pick up some frozen lemonade to have on hand for the summer...it makes me nostalgic for my own childhood. but oh the sweet memories of my grandmother squeezing lemons and adding just the right amount of sugar to her fresh pitcher of the very real deal.
I love frozen lemonade, but mostly because it tastes like the real thing with all that lemon pulp.
