A Bundle of Myrrh

One of our neighbors has the prettiest flowers blooming in her yard. The girls and I walk by a few times a week and like to stop to look at them. I love poppies!

I guess we don’t really get Peonies in Texas so I wasn’t familiar with them. The grow all over town up here in so many colors. They’re beautiful!

June is National Iced Tea Month! After much trial and error I’m happy to report that I’m finally getting better at brewing a good batch of sweet tea, a requirement for any true Southern Belle. I come from a very long line of great iced tea brewers and miss my Mama’s sweet tea up here in Nebraskie. I like to have some in the fridge year round but definitely make it a priority in the summer time. I think I’ll go have some right now. If only I had a big front porch, a cool breeze and a rocking chair…..

Lily loves looking through my cookbooks and asking about all the yummy things she sees there (probably trying to hint that I make some of them) so instead of trying to keep her from ripping out pages from those books I decided to make her her own little “cookbook” so salivate over. The great thing is, the pages can be wiped off since I used these sleeves! Drool away Lily!
