First, I just love my rain barrels. They save my garden every year when I go on vacation. We usually are away for about two weeks. I make sure they are both filled to the top before we leave. While we are off having fun the drip irrigation system I put in slowly but surely keeps the soil moist and we come home to wonderful veggies.
Another thing I love is my chalk board. I got it from Pottery Barn a number of years ago. Each week I figure out the meals for the week and the write out the menu. It hangs in my mudroom and I see it when I come in from work. It helps me keep focused and takes the guessing game out of "what to have for dinner"
My neighborhood has a few rules. One of them is that I can't have a clothes line in my yard. So technically I really don't have one in my yard, it is kinda on my deck. I got this online at Mrs. Peg's .It is so handy. As you can see it holds a ton of stuff and when it is cloudy, I hang clothes on it in my sitting room. I love it.
Here is another shot. People can't really see it, and my closest neighbor, whom I love, doesn't care cause she hangs stuff out too. Plus we really can't see each other. We are just a couple of rebels with clothes lines.
So after I have watered the garden, planned the meals, and did the wash, I love to have a cool glass of tea. This is my Iced tea maker. When I first got this, I thought it was silly. But now that I am used to using it, I love it. It is so easy. You fill it to the line with water, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the bottom, fill the rest of the pitcher with ice, pop 6 tea bags in the top and plug it in. It makes a picture of nice cold tea in about 10 minutes tops.
Add a fresh slice of lemon, and you are all set.
Hope everyone had a great day. Off to make dinner, better check the board!
