Tiptoe through the Daisies…

A walk around my yard…

You just can’t beat a Daisy…

Knockout Roses have been invaded with Japanese beetles so I had to dust them with Sevin…

Lythrum and blue salvia….

This is a sterile version of Lythrum…its usually the star of the flower bed but not this year…

My favorite Daisies with some Lythrum in the background…

The Hydrangea has been beautiful up until this week and our hot weather pretty well wrecked them…

The Hostas are flowering…I usually cut all of these off after they bloom for a week or so…just because I don’t care for the flowers…

A beautiful lemon colored daylily…

Baby figs on the fig tree…

The heart shaped potato vine is beginning to cover the Headboard for my Flowerbed…

It’s All About the Lemonade…

A sunny summer day in June should be perfect picnic weather…NOT…it was so hot when I shot these photos that the ice in the lemonade melted almost instantly, so think cool thoughts when viewing these photos…

Ice cold lemonade is the perfect summer drink for a picnic…

Lemonade

• 6 lemons (juice of 6 lemons)
• 1 cup sugar, or to taste
• 4 cups cold water
• 1 lemon, cut crosswise into very thin slices

Preparation -
Mix the lemon juice and sugar together in a large pitcher. Stir to dissolve all the sugar, then add the water. Serve over ice. Place a lemon slice on top of each glass before serving.

 

 Pink Lemonade

Stir 2 tablespoons of grape juice into 2 quarts of fresh lemonade for just the right shade of pale pink. Chill and serve.

 

 

 

Everything except the vintage glass jar and silverware came from Goodwill…(the checked towels came from Dollar Tree)
