Tea on Tuesday!

Thanks again to Artfully Ooglebloops for re-inspiring my Tea On Tuesday posts.

I recently took part in the teabag swap that was organized over there. I was matched up with Egmont who has a variety of great blogs. He very generously sent me a variety of his personal favorites.

First I opted to try an old favorite Genmaicha... 

 I used to drink this tea with oranges at 綠皮鴨 in Soho.

Then I tried the Mo Li Zhen Zhu he sent...

This tea has a personal touch and a light and delicate flavor that is quite excellent.

Finally I tried the Kukicha tea...

This twig tea had a reputation of being "earthy" which made me dubious due to my experiences with

 Pu'erh, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this tea was no where near as strong as my husbands

 favorite brew.

Terr(or)mites!

Remember last months invasion in our doorframe?

Well this month Puppy decided to do something about it.

The story so far, first...

went the door frame, then...

went the sill, now...

the new door's stripped(ish) and were ready to begin!   

The month in review

Blogging

Well I left Wordpress to return to Blogger, with a variety of blogs, but hated it so then 

I consolidated my blogs and came here.

Gardening

Most things are budding at least and I hate mealy bugs with a passion.

Beading

Learned a bunch of new stitches and have been making stuff

Kitchen

Pulled together 26 jars of assorted marmalade this week.

Health

Went down with an acute case of gallbladder disease and had my gallbladder out yesterday.

Gratitude 

I have been gifted quite a bit lately, from teas to rituals, life is good.

  And yes there will be more posts to cover these topics when I'm not on painkillers. Just wanted to say "Hi"!

Here we go!

Looks like I'm here!
