The First Land Scouts

Although there have been many who signed on with the Urban Land Scouts, this young person and his mother were the first to send in photo documentation of their scouting.

I am thrilled both to see the second phase of this project start, and to see all the spring plants blooming in the woods around them. You can see more photos at urbanlandscouts.com.

Special Tea

This tea comes from Sally Payne by way of my mother. We drank it all summer when I was younger. The taste signals to me the promise of summer and leisure. It is simple to make, very sweet, slightly caffeinated, and good with ice.
