refresh

OK!

This is what I'm sipping right now

and it cannot be beat,

for reals.
Tazo Passion Tea (steeped and cooled),

lots of lemon and a little sweetener,

I use Truvia.

Plenty of ice,

and the straw is a must.

Don't let the photograph fool you,

these are the big quart size jars

for all afternoon sipping.

I like to incorporate photographs
in the children's artwork at beehive.
Last week, we made accordion books,
and filled them with shots taken throughout the week.
We thought it would be a good idea to add
colored pencil drawings to the books.

Iced TEA please

IF I haven't already given this recipe to you,

it is a summertime must.

It's delish and well worth the effort of

squeezing a few lemons and picking some mint.

Dixon Iced Tea

15 - 20 sprigs of mint

10 -12 tea bags

2/3 cup lemon juice (about 6 whole)

1 cup sugar

Mix mint and tea with 4 cups boiling water

In another pot, mix sugar and lemon with 4 cups boiling water.

Let steep at least an hour.

Strain mint and tea into a gallon pitcher.

Add sugar and lemon mixture.

Add 8 cups cold water.

Refrigerate.

This makes a boatload..

approx 16 8 oz. servings.

Flora and Fauna

How does she line it up so perfectly?

UK based designer Marthe Armitage has been making her hand-blocked wallpaper for 40 years, using a century-old offset lithographic printing press and hand-cut lino blocks.
