T Stands For Herbs and Gardening

Friday and Saturday were busy days.  It was still too wet to mow, but not too wet for planting and cleaning up after the storm.

However, I was easily distracted, especially when I saw the adorable brown squirrel quickly climbing the tree in my front yard.  In case you can't see him, I've placed my watermark directly below his long tail.

I'm fairly certain you can see him now.  But it was time to put the camera down and head to work.

Several of you wonderful readers and commenters suggested ways I could hide the ugly fence.  However, all suggestions involved me spending money.  Not my style.  After all, I am the Queen of Free. 

I did however, take your comments to heart and moved three Rose of Sharon bushes that were coming up on my property.  I'm hoping they will grow and help hide that ugly fence.  Note the water standing in the gutter in the street.  It just finished raining again when I took this photo.   Digging these holes contributed to my blisters on both hands.  It appears I am highly ambidextrous when it comes to gardening.

Not to be deterred by the blisters, before I left the front porch, I removed this spring wreath I made in April.  If you missed how I recycled everything on the wreath, you can check out how I made it here.

To honor Memorial Day, I hung my rusty house and my American flag in its place.

It was once again raining outside.  I had also taken a suggestion by Divers  and Sundry to add more plants to what I laughingly call my back patio.  It sounds crazy, but that is exactly what I did!  I'll show those on another day.  But for now, it was time to bring my dirty Wichita State mug inside where it was dry.  That was about 10 a.m. this morning.  Believe it or not, I had cleaned this area up on Friday, and it was a mess again today (Monday).

I looked out around 2 p.m. and this is what I saw from my laundry room window.  Too late to take more photos outside, so I'll turn it over to each of you and your T posts.  Please don't show me any blisters, though.  I have enough of my own.

By now you probably know the "rules," but in case you don't, please show something drink related. It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, tea cups, coffee mugs, a tea or coffee service, postcards, books, magazines, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, ATCs, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  I say that because sometimes it's hard to see where one post ends and another begins.  Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday, and not just this year.



I would also be remiss if I didn't remind you it's time to dig up your Second on the 2nd post. It can be any post, any genre, any length, as long as it's been published sometime in the past.
