Tea Time!

Local Tea Time!

Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage.  

~Catherine Douzel

Instructions:

Share a hot cup of local TEA grown in your garden or a friends yard! 

Enjoy the tea with a family member, pet, the sunshine, or a cozy chair! 

Be in the moment, the present moment of this busy season.

Take this moment and savor and sip it up!

“We can't enchant the world, which makes its own magic; 

but we can enchant ourselves by paying deep attention” 

― Diane Ackerman, An Alchemy of Mind: The Marvel and Mystery of the Brain

How does the Tea Taste this very moment?
