Now how do you start this damn thing?Get off my bench! is a private (or not so private) joke between Martin and me- from Steel Magnolias When Clairee and Ouisa are making up after the funeral scene. Well not much doing this week as I am busy with work, getting ready for a family reunion and trying to stay hydrated- meaning cut down the caffeine son! And that don't mean drink ice tea. Well sort of- luckily there are herbal ice teas that i like very much... and I adore Peppermint Ice Tea- a tea that I can make myself from my own grown peppermint! Found a park bench(relevance) today- mom and I are going half on it for the community garden. It is a cement bench with natural stone inlay- very pretty. I think it will look great under the grape trellis at the B-patch.

Save some of those peppermint leaves for fruit salad! On a whim,I grabbed a handful from my patio and put them into a fruit salad I served for a brunch. The ladies RAVED over it and asked me if I did anything extra. Nope just cut up fruit and peppermint. Later my husband made sangria with the leftover salad minus the mint.
