Snowfall and Flowering Teas

We got what I call our first real snowfall this winter.

Enough that I worried about getting in and out of

the driveway with my Focus.

That is real snowfall to me;

If it worries me.

It was pretty and quiet and clean.
I love to see everything with a coat of white.

The guineas don't like it though.
They do everything they can to avoid stepping in it.

After chores, it was tea time.
Have you ever tried flowering teas?
My daughter introduced me to this tea a few years ago.
I would like to introduce it to you.

My flavor choice today was "Let It Snow".
