sun tea

by michelle gd

snipping herbs from the garden, fresh
the smell of mint on my fingertips and in my nose
leaves gently rinsed
one cup of garden goodness
four cups of cool, clear water
{because i love my quart mason jars}
then resting on ledge or ground
a day of sun
a day of warming, steeping, infusing
i but sit and watch and wait
leaves strained, tea chilled
summer deliciousness in my glass

*you can also steep dried tea leaves {1 rounded teaspoon/1 teabag per cup of water works nicely}

*finding circles with bella at 52 photos project

*and because i am finding such joy in my garden these days, enjoying the connection between what goes into my body and what comes from the earth outside my door, the earth i touch each day…linking up with barefoot mama and her touch the earth link party

sending a little love your way, m
