A Cooling Shirt That Really Works!!

 

My review will focus on a medical reason for buying these shirts.  My husbands cancer treatment included hormone therapy which leaves him with menopause type HOT flashes   Intense miserable hot flashes.  These shirts work very well at cooling him off.  Air circulation (fan, movement) multiples the effect. 

An of course they are fantastic for keeping you cool when working outside, especially when you give yourself a little mist from the hose. 

These shirts are a lovely soft material that is standing up well to constant use and washing.

I highly recommend them.  How much?  I’ve bought 5 of them!

National Strawberry Picking Day

 While today is the day, we took an early run at getting this year's strawberries.  Saturday before we made our way out to Slate's Strawberry field for some spring time deliciousness.

The strawberry plants are huge!

No picking today as it was just starting to rain when we got there.  The pre-picked (that morning) were just fine.  Those are gallon buckets,,, with a wee bit extra.

Look at these!  This big yet still sweet and not hollow.  Absolutely perfect.

That evening fresh berries went on a chocolate cupcake that Himself baked.

Toasted homemade bread with strawberry jam and mine with cream cheese & macerated strawberries.

You know what?  I think we'll go back this weekend...

 It is that time of the year... turkey strut season!

They are certainly talking smack at each other!

It is so much fun watching this from our windows.

And Here I Am... Mid May

 Yes, busy again.  Spring finally arrived out here at The Sticks.  So before it turns to summer (which happens way too fast) we have been very busy with outside tasks.

There's been a lot of repairing, cleaning up, hauling off, and brush burning.  Bonsai and the herb garden woke up.  There were a few casualties from that brutal December freeze but not really bad.

As I get things done, there will be things to share.  Everything is a bit piece mill for now.

My blooming iris!
