Time to take tea outside and drink one of my faves! I will probably drink this a lot in the next few weeks because my giant wall o’ jasmine is starting to bloom! Today a hummingbird was visiting the blossoms.

I like this better than their highest grade of jasmine pearls. This is a shelf staple. Smooth, perfect jasmine, it relaxes me and makes me melt. Ahhhh!

Here is my King of Dogs, Sam, in front of the wall of jasmine a few days ago as the first blossoms at the top were starting to open. The vine goes a short way around the corner and there is another, smaller vine on the end of the house by my bedroom window. We planted the big one about twenty years ago.

Jasmine goals! And omg look at that cute woofer! How old is he?

ashmanra

He is eight years old! I adore him. We fostered his mom and her pups from the time he was one day old. His mother was quite small and was the color of his brown spots. She looked like a very small American Dingo. We are guessing his dad was a Walker Treeing Coonhound or a bird dog.

Oh, and I put him in for scale, but really it is the next picture that shows the size of the vine best! He is a long legged pup, don’t know if you can tell. and about 55 pounds.

Your dog is cute, but why does he have such a small head?

ashmanra

Ha ha! Well, “Youngest”, I think his head (and everything else about him) is perfect!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
