A beautiful day on this gracious earth
Tasty Waters
Sweet Woodruff Water
Fill a pitcher with water, add some lemon slices to your liking, and a good hand full of woodruff sprigs. Chill for a few hours add ice and serve. This is one of my favorite summer drinks.
Lemon Verbena Water
In a pitcher with ice add a sliced orange and two cups of loosely paced verbena, let sit in the refrigerator for a few hours. This drink is very refreshing on hot summer day.

pre-make some blackberries and mint leaf ice-cubes. The cubes will make your punch bowl look fantastic, at party time.
