It’s a good afternoon to celebrate small things. The snow is melting. I submitted a finished writing project. For a few blissful, silent minutes, the furnace wasn’t running. The laundry is folded and for the next ten minutes or so, the living room carpet will be free of cat tufts. (Hey, I said small things!)
And after two weeks of heavy, spicy, just-shut-up-and-hand-me-caffeine teas, a change was in order. Sweet Strawberry Rose is a light, lilty, cheerful cup of flowers and fruit. It leads with the rose (but not your grandma’s guest soap sort of rose), with a fruit punch finish. From a personal preference standpoint, I’d welcome more strawberry, but that’s a minor quibble. A lovely tea to sip in a sunbeam while you dream about spring.

Oo, this sounds really good! And hooray for small wins! Sam the King of Dogs is a shedder with a capital SHED. People ask his breed and Ashman says he is a “Southern Shedding Snack Hound.” I delete half my tea photos for Sororitea Sisters because there is dog hair in the photo. So I KNOW that having the pet hair tufts up, even temporarily, is a victory!
I bought black sheets just so I could hide from myself how much hair from my witch-cat is on them… shifty eyes
Also, this note made me realize I’m craving strawberry rose. I know I have exactly one serving of frozen strawberries left in the freezer, so I think I’ll blend them in some rosewater. It’s just cleaning up, really.
Yay for the small wins! This cuppa sounds delightful as well. :)

That sounds like a summer treat I’m going to have to try … about 60 degrees from now :)
