Homemaking Mondays: It's All In How You Mix It

 

Hello! 
How do you like your tea? 

I like to mix my own tea mostly.

Some of this and some of that.

I also like my tea nice and strong.

Add some cream and sweetener and it's lovely.

I do enjoy simple herbal tea as well

although lately I've been drawn to adding some 

black tea in with mix. 

Chamomile, Ivan's Tea, Peppermint,Red Raspberry and Black

is my go to mix at the moment. 

Sadly I have just finished up the last of my Ivan's Tea

so I'll be anxiously awaiting the fireweed this summer.

Do you like to mix up your own blends of tea?

With all the new growth celebrating the longer

hours of sunshine are the geraniums.

I did take some cuttings to start some new fresh plants.

In doing so I cut off the flower stems

and they are being enjoyed in little vases.

I love the little bottles that my essential oils 

come in and after they are emptied

they may beautiful little vases for small bits of flowers.

With the longer hours of sunshine 

the melting is continuing to change the scenery.

There are more patches of ground showing and the icicles 

are forming and dropping from the eaves. 

This one big icicle outside our main door lasted 

a long time before dropping away.

It doesn't look that long in the picture but it was 

a few feet long. 

There are lots of ways to look at things.

With spring comes puddles, mud, dirty vehicles,

and random drastic changes in the weather. 

Sometimes I admit it can be a bit frustrating at times.

It is all in how you look at it though. 
Just like I like to add this and that to my tea

I am trying to look at each aspect as a beautiful 

part of the blend. 

 I pray your day is blessed today!

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
