I love the idea of the sage & lemon tea. I’m going to put a jug of Sun Tea out to steep - it’s certainly hot enough out there.

I have lemons on hand and sage, so I might experiment a little, too!

Watering the fruit trees this morning, on tree #2, so 4 more to go, then off to the Grad Party for a neighbor farm-kid. ;)

I am ‘cultivating’ a bunch of local young men that can ‘do stuff’ for me as I age, LOL!

That’s exactly who we hired this week to plant our new shrubs for us. We found a landscaper who is mentoring a recently graduated high school kid that is a young entrepreneur. He’s teaching him the business. Met through the 4-H program.

So we are getting the brains of the older gentleman, and the brawn of the young man and his new company, about half the cost of the older one. These 2 young men planted 17 shrubs and one tree for me the other day in just a couple of hours. It would’ve taken me several days to do that, I think. I still got my workout in, too, as I wanted to transplant some hostas that were in the way of where some of those shrubs were going. Everything looks so much better now.

Like you said, time for more watering!
