This is what my Jim, brings me almost everyday. They are so beautiful and from the first rose of summer to the last rose in the fall I will have a bouquet in my house. The truly wonderful result of these are my dried petals. I never throw them away because I have a basket I put them in. Sometimes I end up with a lot of buds which have dried and they are wonderful especially the sweet smell.
We are having a warm sunny day today, I have made tea from my herbs. I found out you must brew the herbs to get a robust flavor as last week I did not. I just put the herbs, chopped, in a cheesecloth and put the pitcher in the freezer as I was short on time and had no ice well it just did not have the flavor I was expecting so today I brewed some raspberry leaves in cheesecloth and after it steeps for awhile will put it in the freezer to get cold. Plus I also made a combination of rosemary, sage, mint and oregano tea. Yum Yum, it will be good tonight.
This is Eleanor. She does this every morning. I'm afraid she feels the water dish on the floor is beneath her (no pun intended, well maybe). If by chance we have left dirty dishes in the sink we are meet with a stare which any cat owners will tremble at the thought. One morning I was doing dishes (yes, by hand as I do not have a dishwasher, I am the dishwasher, along with plates, glasses, silverware, pots, pans etc., well you get the picture) There was about 8" on the counter from the drainer to the edge of the counter, there she stretch out waiting for me to get done, I am not kidding. What an Eleanor! Tootles
