After a day in the yard and painting I will love to sit and read! Must make a trip to library this week - the book I am currently reading is to 'heavy' a read for a relaxing night

Thinking I will browse the paperback racks!

Wanting Peach Iced tea recipe here too please. I can just imagine sitting in a quiet spot with a good book and a glass of iced tea. Heaven.

I love this idea! I just checked out The Night Circus from the library - so that should be a great chance to get started on it!

This is such a wonderful idea. We are having Rowan's 1st Birthday gathering for family and friends, so won't manage this time. However will keep my eyes peeled for the next time. Sometimes I do need to remind myself to take time to read

Peach Iced Tea

I have an iced tea maker, but you can just make it like regular tea.

4 Bags of regular tea
2 Bags of Lipton Island Mango & Peach tea
2 Quarts of water

I just set the machine to make the tea. Machine heats up 1 quart of water which steeps the tea, and adds it to the other quart of cold water. I don't let it steep too long. Let it cool a bit then I put it in the fridge, or pour over a glass of ice immediately.

The key ingredient here is the Lipton Island Mango & Peach white tea pyramid bags. I've tried other peach tea bags, but these are so flavorful and smell like a ripe peach.

I don't add any sugar to my tea but you could add some.

I am working but will set some time aside for that--I am reading a book about the young men that were Lincoln's secretaries during the Civil War, and catching up on some magazines..thanks for the peach ice tea recipe Robin!!

 

[AnnieClaus]

I'm really excited about tomorrow!

 

[Sugarplum]

I read for my hour and finished my book. It was a good ending.

I actually read a lot last nite too, lol.

Now I need to get some work done!

Thanks for setting this up Annie!!

I join everybody….. in thinking that this is a great idea! We NEED to be reminded to give ourselves the healthy luxury…. of reading!

I started off the morning with a walk, an hour of gardening, and then going out to split a "breakfast platter" with dh. During the breakfast, I made the mistake of reading the newspaper…. which is NOT filled with "good news"!!!!

Now… I'll catch up with out MHH Family… and look forward to some NICE (non-news) reading!

 

[Ahorsesoul]

I will have to start the 2nd book in the outlander series.

Reading Blood Song by Anthony Ryan, and enjoying it

 

[missjane]

I have a book about gardening in Louisiana that I plan to read on some. It's set up for what should be done each month, so I plan to focus on August and September. A different kind of read, but what I want to do!
