Strawberry basil water

I don't know about all of you, but I basically live on water. I used to drink a lot of soda,
 {or pop depending on what part of the country you are from} but it is now a rare day
 that I drink anything but water.  Even when we go out to eat I almost always get
water with lemon.  I figure at my age I do not need those extra calories!

I found this strawberry / basil water on pinterest today and decided to make some.
I have strawberries and I have basil so I was good to go!

All you do is put water in a pitcher , add some sliced strawberries and some basil leaves
{I crushed mine a bit or muddled them so the basil flavor would come through},
put it in the refrigerator for a couple hours and you have a pretty light pink yummy
water to drink.

Perfect for a summer day and I figure I earned it.  I have already stained two 8 foot fence
sections front and back today , cleaned and swept out the car, did the dishes, etc. lol.

I see my deck needs power washed again. Well, that is one thing I did NOT do today. ha!
Now I need someone to drink with!!!!!! :)

I wanted to show this photo to you as well. My bff has the most beautiful home ever and she has
been in the process of a major remodel for weeks, I mean months, oops I guess it has been years
now and it is turning out just beautiful , but then I knew it would. This is her new *old*
breadboard...isn't it amazing!!  I just knew you would love it.
Happy Thursday...I can see the weekend approaching !! :)
