June 1- green grass and colorful petunias

May has been a month of rain.  Never has our lawn looked so green. Is it the rain or the Epsom Salts?  A Southerner told us to try this for a green lawn and here is the result

I love the contrast of the above picture with just 5 weeks ago.


We have already been cutting lettuce from the garden for our evening salad.


I noticed a blossom one of my two Roma tomato plants.

Today I am going to try to make mint tea with all the mint taking over the area near our air conditioning unit

Peppermint tea will cure what ails you, whether it be a stomach ache, nausea, headache, lethargy, you name it. A quick, simple and CHEAP remedy.

Ingredients

• 1 handful of fresh mint
• 2 cups of boiling water

Instructions

1. There isn’t really a recipe for mint tea, but rather a method. Wash and tear up the fresh mint leaves. (Spearmint, peppermint, chocolate mint; the variety doesn’t matter.) Put them in a French press or teapot and pour some boiling water over them. Allow to steep for about 3-7 minutes, depending on how strong you want your tea. Feel free to add a bit of honey or even a splash of whole milk if you want.
2. Enjoy.
