We had one of those spring days that was warm and chilly all at once…perfect for yard work, especially when the riding mower is in the hospital on life support waiting for a new carburetor and you’ve got to use your own horsepower. Husband trimmed around our 100-plus-year-old maple; that’s a half mile in itself; it’s an Ent just waiting to break loose and trudge down the block.
I tackled the tilty, tippy, ditchy part of the yard with the push mower, and was walking about as slow as an aforementioned Ent by the time I finished. This light little cuppa, courtesy of derk, was perfect for putting up the aching feet and surveying the acreage.
While steeping, it looked a little like cooked spinach and mulch from the push mower, but the coloring and flavor palate was much lighter. Definitely some sweet hay in there. Ashmanra mentioned a little mineral in there—I got that, too.
Not one to wake up with; not one to wind down with; just one to savor when you have a few delicious minutes to put your brain on autopilot.

I love your day! If Steepster had pics, I’d ask to see that Ent!
I have been wishing for a maple mature enough to make maple syrup! If I buy one now and live to be 105….
A few years back, we had to have one branch taken down because it would’ve hacked our house in two during an ice storm…just the branch had 84 rings.
We had a similar day this weekend and it was just so lovely. Gotta savor these in-between days!
