The only way to make summer sun tea
🌞one sunny sky
🌞one gallon water
🌞8-12 black tea bags
🌞1/2 tsp baking soda
🌞1-2 cups sugar
Combine water and tea bags in a clear container. Let steep in the summer sun for 4-6 hours. Take tea bags out then add baking soda and sugar. The baking soda reduces the bitterness. I prefer the higher end of all the measurements and time since I like it strong and sweet. ENJOY!

Go slow for those below! Sea turtle nesting season is currently underway in Florida. Boaters are advised to be cautious and follow safe boating guidelines to avoid striking sea turtles and other marine life. It's important to be vigilant, especially during the summer months when sea turtles are more active and closer to shore.

🐢 Let’s hear it for Florida’s only native species of tortoise! 🐢

These MVPs use their big claws and shovel-shaped front feet to dig a deep, extensive burrow that reaches around 6.5 ft. below ground, and stretches 15 ft. long. Over 350 different species of wildlife and insects have been documented utilizing gopher tortoise burrows for shelter, nesting, hunting, and escape from extreme weather conditions.

This , here’s a few ways you can be more gopher tortoise aware, and help to protect this critical species:

- Gopher tortoises are land-dwelling and are not well adapted to swimming- never put a tortoise in the water…even if you see one taking a stroll along the beach!
-Gopher tortoises are legally protected in Florida- it is illegal to handle, harass, kill, or have a gopher tortoise. Be sure to observe these awesome animals from a distance, and refrain from feeding them.
-Gopher tortoises lay their eggs in the sand around their burrow- avoid stepping on top of or close to burrows to prevent them from collapsing, and to avoid accidentally stepping on eggs.
-In gopher tortoise areas, keep dogs on-leash and away from tortoises and their burrows.
-Never release pet tortoises into the environment. They can spread diseases and can compete with gopher tortoises for habitat.
