We had a freak winter snowstorm this past weekend. A nor'easter in October! All the trees had leaves, and that weighed them down. Our perfectly healthy tree in the front yard succumbed to the heavy, wet snow. It snapped and took out our neighbor's cable/phones. Surprisingly, none of us lost power! Sorry, neighbor. :(

Received Harney's Rose Scented black tea! It is a combination of Ceylon & Keemun black teas with velvety rose petals and oil for flavor/fragrance. I cracked open the tin and felt like I was sniffing a bouquet of roses. :)

Brewed a pot-full of it and Chai sauntered over to inspect. She loves tea-time. Occasionally she'll hop on the counter while I'm boiling water and will sniff the dry leaves in the tea-maker. If you aren't watching your teacup she'll occasionally dunk her paw in the tea and splash it everywhere. Disrupting tea-time brings her too much joy. T_T Maybe she wouldn't do that if I appeased her with a little teacup containing a small bit of milk once in a while.
