And here it comes!
The great weather I mean. After that harsh, and what felt like ever-long Texas drought, it is good to step out in the morning and see the outside temperature lower than that inside the house.

I am a tea-drinker. Not too much. But when I do, its got to be that simmered, boiled, golden brown, extremely sweet concoction, which will wake the dead (if needed). So, when at home, will actually go to the pains of boiling this stuff on the fire, for my cuppa tea. This doesn’t actually work […]
