You remind me to remain grounded and connected as I go about my busy life (I see Sasha has written about what's been sucking our time away from here, the plants, slowing down- fortunately it hasn't gone as far as causing us to neglect our tea...)

Siobhan, I do lots of nourishing infusions, and sometimes combine my beverage teas with my infusions by making a base infusion with oatstraw or rrl or whatever and then adding tulsi or dried blueberries or basil or roses or whatever else I'm fancying at the moment. Thanks Marqueta, I'm so glad that my work has been a help to you! Thanks so much for reading. Blessings, Kiva Hey Sasha, I’ve missed your comments, glad to know you’re still reading!!

Tea does bring out the muse in us, doesn't it? Maybe all the people who were so uptight before the elections should take some time to destress with a pot full of soothing herbs, eh? Thank you again for putting your heart into this website. You have truly gifted me in my search for a balanced, whole life. ~Marqueta Wonderfully said! Tea does bring out the muse in us, doesn’t it?

They sit in front of the warm fire being fed a dinner of tea and hot buttered toast - both made over the fire. Their canine host remarks that there is no better dinner than that. I've always remembered that passage and couldn't agree more ;-) Ahhhhhhhh the simple, primal pleasures.... :-) There’s a wonderful passage in the original “101 Dalmatians” novel (ie the pre-Disney version) where Pongo and Perdita are taken into the house of the old man (by his dogs) during their search for the puppies on a cold winter night.
