Sweet Peppermint Sun Tea

Sweet Peppermint Sun Tea

This past weekend I was listening to the weather report. The estimated temperature was a balmy 96 degrees. If that wasn’t hot enough the weatherman added one last note, “It’s going to feel like 105 degrees.” As soon as I heard the report, I got out my vintage Pyrex tea pitcher and decided to make sweet peppermint sun tea.

Summer Inspired Front Porch

Summer Inspired Front Porch

When I was creating a summer inspired front porch, I kept thinking about World War II. Something about the way everyone banded together for a common cause makes me feel really blessed. I know there were overwhelming sacrifices. Victory gardens, flour sacks, simple ticking, using things I already had at home and strengthening friendships became my inspiration.
