As well as fine weather, a healthy family, and some great "Walton's Moments", I am also praying for some Adirondack time! This will happen right on our back deck, in our new chairs!! These chairs are manufactured using high density polyethylene from recycled milk jugs and cartons. They have added UV protection to keep the color from fading. Come on, try one out. They are very comfy. Perfect for a nap!
I made some "Perfect Lemonade", and bought some beautiful ripe, sweet strawberries at the Masstown Market today. Have a seat, and relax. The sailboats are having a great time tonight!
Tanya's Lemonade
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
- 1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)
Method
1 Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
2 While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
3 Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.
Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
Yield: Serves 6.

Girlfriend, when are you going to have me over? I have a red andriondack chair, too. I wish I had those ottomans.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that porch and your red chairs. I love it that you don't have to paint them. Have a wonderful break with your family.
ReplyDeleteTanya: Looks beautiful my dear friend! I have been thinking of Mass Town Market and can't wait for another day there to meet and visit. Your lemonade sounds delicious! In Freeport, Maine (where we are headed this weekend) they add strawberries to their lemonade and the vendors sell it right on the street. We always have one when we are shopping. Your blog is a delight to visit! Take care, Gwyneth
ReplyDeleteOh, what an inviting setting! I would be happy to settle in with a good book and enjoy that lemonade! Your photos are magazine-worthy!

ReplyDeleteI have been looking everywhere for adirondack chairs-they are very to find here in Australia. I think I have found one store that stocks them so I will have to look into further. I hope they are as fabulous as yours!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and happy weekend,
Natasha @ 5 Minutes Just for Me
These chairs are calling my name (as is a glass of the "perfect lemonade)! I love the red ... and the nautical embellishments are fun and fab! Becca (a new follower)

That picture of the water from the chairs is like a vacation in itself. Love the chairs painted red!
ReplyDeleteYour chairs are wonderful! I love lemonade and your sea glass. Thanks for linking it up!
ReplyDeleteSherry
I never would have guessed that those chairs aren't made of wood! They're fantastic, and so much better than having to slap a fresh coat of paint on them every year!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday,
Carol
There's just enough red here to totally draw me in!
ReplyDeleteI’M FOND OF CERISE
For red my affection is great,
It’s puce and chartreuse that I hate.
I’m fond of cerise,
It makes a nice piece
Of clothing that looks just first-rate.
