A LOVELY BOOK for "Tea In The Garden"

We enjoyed a beautiful June here in 

Missouri and it was much cooler

 than last year.  I was so pleased but

now that is over as July arrives
and the heat is definitely here.

I participated in a Give Away on Janet Collazo's
blog called Rosemary & Thyme and won this
lovely book which I am enjoying so much.

This book is full of table setting ideas,
 recipes and
ideas for entertaining in all four seasons.

Last year I got a Monarda plant at the
 Farmers Market and as soon as I planted it
 the next day a bunny ate off all the branches
pruning it down to the ground. It must of 
been a good thing in the end because
 this spring it was one of the first plants
 to come up again and spread like crazy.
Now I have planted over 20 plants
 all around from that one plant!

The bees sure love Monarda!

Thank you Janet!
