Pleasant Sunday

[dreamflower]

We skipped church this morning, and I helped the DH with some yard work he was doing, and did a few things around the house. This afternoon we went into Stillwater, to the library, and stopped at Big Lots and Dollar Tree to see about some July Fourth decorations. Ate supper out at the Texas Roadhouse.

Stopped by for a few minutes to see our son at his new place on our way home.

I tried an herbal experiment this morning that turned out very well!

1/2 cup bruised and broken fresh stevia leaves
1 cup bruised and broken fresh mint leaves

Pour over the leaves one cup of boiling water, and let steep for about 10 minutes. Strain out the leaves, and pour over ice in a glass, for a refreshing *naturally sweetened* mint tea!

Next time, I'm going to try adding a bit of lemon balm, as well.

I hope everyone's had a great weekend too!

That sounds very yummy indeed! And refreshing!

It truly was! I've tried growing stevia before-- I seem to be having better luck with it this year! It's the herb they use to make the new sweetener Truvia with.

I'm glad you have a nice Sunday.
