Strawberry Sipper Water

Illinois Extension

Strawberry sipper water is a flavored water beverage made by combining pureed strawberries with cold water, often enhanced with ice cubes for a refreshing taste. It’s typically prepared by blending fresh or thawed frozen strawberries into a puree, mixing it with water in a pitcher, and adding ice, sometimes with mint leaves frozen in the cubes for extra flavor.

Unlike infused water, where fruit sits in water for hours, strawberry sipper water is more akin to an agua fresca, blending fruit for immediate flavor and a vibrant pink color.  It’s a hydrating, low-calorie drink popular for summer or as a soda alternative, often garnished with fresh strawberries or mint.

“Summer Suns Are Glowing”

Ruth 1 | King James Version

Written by William Walsham How in 1871 for the Church Hymns collection, this Christian standard is a celebration of God’s creation and love, set to the tune “Ruth” by Samuel Smith (1865). How, an Anglican bishop known for his pastoral work, crafted the hymn to reflect the joy of summer, with its vibrant imagery of glowing suns, flowing light, and nature’s voices uniting in praise.

The hymn’s four stanzas emphasize God’s mercy, eternal love, and guidance through life’s challenges, urging steadfast faith even in dark times. Its meaning centers on gratitude for divine providence, the beauty of creation, and trust in God’s presence, with the final stanza affirming hope in eternal light.

Published in over 239 hymnals, it remains a cherished expression of summer’s warmth and spiritual reassurance.

Fountains

“Temple, Fountain and Cave in Sezincote Park” | Thomas Daniell (1819) | Yale Center for British Art

From time to time we break from our interest in lowering the cost of our “cities-within-cities” to enjoy the work of our colleagues responsible for seasonal ambience and public art.  We have a dedicated post that celebrates the accomplishments of our gardeners and horticultural staff.   Today we dedicate a post to campus fountains–a focal point for gathering and a place for personal reflection for which there is no price.

Alas, we find a quickening of standards developing organizations growing their footprint in the spaces around buildings now.  They used to confine the scopes of their standardization enterprises to the building envelope.  That day will soon be behind us as an energized cadre of water rights social justice workers, public safety, sustainability and energy conservation professionals descend upon campus fountains with prescriptive requirements for evaporation rates, bromine concentrations, training, certification and inspections.  In other words regulators and conformity functionaries will outnumber benefactors and fountain designers 1 million to 1.

We will deal with all that when the day comes.  For the moment, let’s just enjoy them.

We are happy to walk you through the relevant structural, water safety, plumbing and electrical issues any day at 11 AM EST during our daily standing online teleconferences.   Click on any image for author attribution, photo credit or other information.
