Good Morning Sewing Sisters! Our Summer has been a warm one. The husband often remarks that I can drink hot tea on any day, even these steamy ones. And yes, I can. During Summer I make one large pot for a cup or two then save the rest, through the day, to have with ice.

| The full-bodied Fortnum & Mason Afternoon Blend is just right. |
After working with the straggling petunias in the mid-afternoon heat, I need a cup of tea because it is time to give them their walking orders. That is always a difficult time for me, the poor dears have done their best but time has moved on and they need to move on as well. I am looking for Mums for Fall but it just seems too soon.

| No baking this week, the shopper picked up these spicy windmill cookies at the grocery store. He remembers them from his childhood. Not bad really, go well with this tea! |

| A little fruit tucked in with a couple tomatoes! |

Look at my poor tea basket! It has seen better days!
- Of course, I lugged pail after pail with water to rescue my outdoor plants. Then it rained. We have had no rain for weeks. Now they are all too wet.
- Coping mechanisms have been put through their paces these last couple weeks. Changes. I am sick of changes. I have to make some big decisions. Nothing life-threatening, just one more disappointment to make 2020 a terrible experience. More on that later.
- I just saw a television ad for the MTV VMA awards. What? Who? Never heard of one person they mentioned, it's official, I am an old lady!
- Just think, 4 months from Christmas. I hear screaming!!!
