This was a gift in the big box o’ tea from Youngest – many thanks!
It has been raining since last night, Superanna’s creek is flooded, they are under a tornado watch, the farm my son’s family lives on has a tree down and wind damage, and Ashman has to work late because of all the havoc. Schools are closed and non-essential personnel were given a two hour delay which didn’t make sense because that was really when the bad weather was supposed to begin…all from a hurricane several states away. We already had flooding that had just started to subside when this hurricane came. It is so muggy from all this rain and saturated soil! The garden has standing water in it now. It will soak in pretty quickly, though. But in this nasty heat and wet weather, we do need some refreshing tea!
Cucumber and melon get paired a lot, and we used to love the scent from Bath and Body Works, so I was pretty excited about this one. It hasn’t let me down. It is in a glass carafe so it is extra cold. I find the melon to be the strongest flavor and that’s good because Ashman does NOT like cucumber. It is just the thing for a streak of nasty weather like this!
Gah! Hope the waters recede from their various collection points!
And here we are in the Dust Bowl begging Helena to visit after she calms down a little…
This afternoon is lovely for those of us who have power! We are under an unrelated boil advisory for the second day so that stinks, but at least the waters are starting to recede and the wind is pretty calm, just breezy.
