Thursday #590. It's time for the Summer Solstice!

[Lady's Human]

You're letting the Orc play with fire?

I'm taking LOK and going to hide in the L+F......that would be safer!

Angel, grab a string so's we don't get lost.

Yay, it's summer! I'm drinking iced tea, mine is unsweetened but I can make sweet tea if you like.

[Karen]

I have sprouts! I have sprouts! Whoever it was did not manage to eat ALL the hundred or so basil seeds I planted, and so I have teensy weeny purple sprouts, at least 3 of em. Maybe 4. Hoping they all survive!!! Then later this summer we can have good basil with tomatoes, and even some basil vinegar for salads this winter!

For now, some lemonade would be dandy, thanks!

Lemonade please.

I picked my grandson up from work yesterday afternoon, and we stopped for a soft serve ice cream on the way home. Haven't done that in ages, and I went into sticker shock when I saw the price - $2.75 for a medium. Yikes - at the place we stopped at, a small used to be $1.00, a medium $1.50, and a large $2.00. And the ice cream yesterday wasn't even that good - not real creamy --- rather icy. Probably would have done better getting it a McDonald's, since the nearest DQ is about 12 miles from here and out of my way.

There was a drugstore chain called Sav-on (I don't know if it was national or not), but you could get a triple cone for a quarter! A single was 10, a double was 15 cents.

One Lemonade!

Done.

Karen, a lemonade and some goat cheese for a caprese salad?

Done!

CM,

Do you make sun tea?

LH,

"Run away, Run away!!!"

(Name the movie and you win a cold glass of lemonade and the appropriate treats for your minions?)

Done!!

Brave Sir Robin ran away.

Bravely ran away away.

When danger reared it's ugly head
he bravely turned his tail and fled
Brave, brave brave Sir Robin....

And they ate Sir Robin's minstrels


And there was much rejoicing.

"Boldly Brave Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot." -- minstrel (I'm chuckling to myself because this is one of my very favorite musicals!)

Richard, I've never tried making sun tea. I probably could give it a try, because my balcony faces south and gets a lot of sunshine on bright days.
