So much love is coming to you, Twyla. I know we are all thinking about you.

Good night

In today’s picture Weasley was easily distracted by birds on the TV.

My last dog was scared of birds on the tv if they sounded angry. Our cat loves to watch television- we even have the tv programmed so we can turn it on for him if we’re gone too long. He comes running and jumps on his cat tree to watch it.

Kitty tv!

Oh I do love this tea! Always very tasty

Actually might make it to bed before the clock turns! Night CT.

Good night 😴

Who's still up?

I’m up but winding down for the night. It’s a bit after 11 PM here

Really looking forward to tomorrow’s tea. Love pumpkin chai and love honeybush, but I have never had the two mixed. Usually it’s a black or rooibos tea.

43 days till Halloween 💜🎃💜 this is one of my all time favorites, its just so dang tasty!!💜 Tonight While giving Sabby her IV, her and I became blood brothers, whoops, but the sentiment is sweet, no worries I'm ok, it was just a crazy thing to happen, but thinking of it that way made me feel better about the situation. Never a dull moment, over here.😂Happy Thursday!! Sabby and I, are sending our best! 💜🐈‍⬛💜

I did that once too, Age.

Forever bound.

Good night to those who are still up and good morning to those who will be waking up shortly. Happy Thursday!

Good morning/night, Khrissi. God bless, sleep well and have an amazing day when you wake up. 😇😇😇

Good morning, Khrissi. I hope your day is a good one.

Good morning, lovely Adagians. Happy Thursday! Just popping in to say hello before I get my day started. God bless, enjoy your tea, or other beverage of choice, and have a great day! 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

Good morning Marlicia. Have a sweet day.

Good morning, Nancy, and thanks. You do the same. God bless....😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚😇

Good morning, Marlicia. You bring nothing but sunshine to the CommuniTEA.

Oh, thank you, Mary. You're very sweet. God bless and have a wonderful day! 😇🙏🫖🍵🍪🎶📚🧶😇

Good night~ 😴

Happy first love day, free queso day, hug a greeting card writer day, equal pay day,, read an e-book day, cheeseburger day, red velvet cake day, respect today, rice krispies treats day, world bamboo, day, and world water monitoring day!

My culinary students will be celebrating rice krispies treats day and cheeseburger day. Yum!

Could they make a rice Krispies treat that looks like a cheeseburger?

I mean, how many greeting card writers are there, and why do they need hugs?

Anneke, I actually knew a greeting card writer (well, he was formerly a greeting card writer). He was one of my English professors in college. I actually hugged him too as after the class was finished he asked me out and we dated a bit. He even wrote a couple poems about me. Of course that was many years ago and prior to my meeting my hubby.

My husband thinks everyday is cheeseburger day! I haven't had a rice crispness treat in a very long time . Yum!

Reading e-book all day today.

Michelle, I am celebrating read an ebook Day by sitting under the tree enjoying the cool breezes and the clouds from the rain overnight and reading another novel.

My mom used to make a killer red velvet cake - what a great memory.

Happy Thursday!

Have a great day!

Morning

Another cool morning. Time for tea.

Good morning! I wanted to thank the kind soul(s) who bought not just one but three of my blends, including one that wasn't on the line-up for November's unusual combination blends! So, thank you, whoever you are!

Good morning tea pals and happy Friday Eve. Hubby started the day with Jin Kong Que and I had Forest Berries as I held my Forest Berry good tea friend, Twyla, and her mother, in my heart. I hope you have a super day.

All the Forest Berry fairies gather in honor, Cheers!

Farrah, I just sipped Twyla's Harvest Moon to honor Mum Moonbeam and support Twyla as she experiences her loss.

In honor of Mum Moonbeam, I'm going to just drink teas made by Twyla today. I'm starting out with the absolutely delicious Tasha Tudor's Cottage Pathways https://www.adagio.com/226075

Good morning all. It's was a very tough day yesterday but it is my husband's birthday tomorrow, so we are trying to find some joy. I hope everyone has a lovely Thursday!

Christine, I hope your day goes better than expected and that you and your husband can find some joy. May you both find ways to celebrate his birthday despite the trying circumstances.

Good morning, folks! Starting my day with a cup of Scottish Breakfast.

Happy Thursday! I spent the morning teaching my 4 year old about lichen and how awesome they are. Now to enjoy the tea of the day!

I think I have a portion packet of today's somewhere. If I'm right, it seems like today would be a good day to use it, don't you think?

Definitely!

Definitely, I opened a sample size last night and plan multiple cups of this favorite, right after I fi ish my mug of currant. They're both so good, but I've really been enjoying chai teas lately. Have a wonderful day, Anneke!

I love today's tea! Can't wait to have some.

Good morning! I picked some more hot peppers from my garden while sipping some Dark Side of Bella Luna.

No water in my apartment so I can't make tea before work.

Nooooooooo! I hope you get some tea soon.

And water back on at home.

Good morning everyone!

Good morning CommuniTEA 🌞 I have a sore throat and I'm drinking Throat Therapy today.

Jen, I hope it clears up your sore throat quickly. Now is the time to enjoy autumn, not get sick, fingers crossed.🤞😘

Thanks Michelle 🤞🏼

Oh dear, I hope you are not coming down with something and the Throat Therapy helps.

Good morning! Made it to Thursday -- last day of work for the week. Sipping coffee first....then I think I will switch to Formosa Bai Hao. :) Hope everyone has a great day today!

You too, Julie. Give Gus Gus some extra snuggles.

Formosa Bai Hao is one of my favorites!!

I have today’s tea in my stash so I’ll have to have some later today.

Good afternoon. Today's tea is a good one. I just finished reading an interesting book about getting pigments from plants and turning them into watercolor paints and inks. They had a recipe entry for tea paint, they capture the tannins from black tea and use that as pigment for the paint. I thought that was really neat, and would love to try it after we move.

I recently brewed up double strength black tea as a scalp and hair rinse. It stained my bathtub and the towel I used. Bleach was even used on the tub and the stains didn’t come out. Please be careful when making the paint from the black tea. BYW, paint from natural sources sounds like a great idea.

I have a skirt somewhere that was tea dyed. It can really be some strong stuff! For your tub, have you tried a baking soda and vinegar combo? I had a bad tea stain in one of my tea cups and it helped lift most of the stain out.

I follow a lady who makes her own watercolors. The process is fascinating. Love some chemistry.

Happy Thursday tea friends! I decided to share one of the many beautiful pictures I have received periodically from a priest in northern Germany. He started a What’s App group for Lent and Easter sharing photos related to the season. For the length of Ordinary Time he formed a new group sharing photos of the sky and the surrounding countryside. He lives on a hill where the remains of a medieval castle are. I have received photos from the top of the tower and photos with the chapel and gatehouse where he lives. His garden is extensive and many pictures of the blooms were shared. These photos have brightened my days throughout the summer. I am looking forward to his autumn photos.

Beautiful, Rita

Thank you for sharing, Rita!

Hi everyone! I absolutely adore Honeybush Pumpkin Chai. One of my favorites for sure.

It’s been really hot lately and I spend most of my afternoons working outside in the sun and heat. As I stand in the heat I’ve been finding myself thinking of McCall’s book “The Limpoco Detective Society.” It’s first chapter is entitled “On a hot day we dream of tea.” I expect that, once again, I will spend the hottest part of the afternoon dreaming of tea, and when I can brew another pot. Enjoy your tea 🫖

It's been hot here too! We still drink our CT cup in the morning, but no pots of tea otherwise. 90 in September is unfair. I hope your outside work becomes more pleasant soon!

loving all the fall flavors

Is anyone looking for a dragon well card? I have one to trade for something flavored.

I made an offer. Feel free to counter or deline. 🙂 I also have a bunch of spices if you're interested in those.

I’ll have today’s tea this evening. Trying to decide which tea to drink now from the delivery this morning.

Guess who's work truck broke again! Had to get all 4 tires replaced and the whole thing realigned. The other van broke too- zero of any fluid.

Jasmine, the pumpkin in your photo is adorable!

After a few snafus this afternoon, *finally* leaving work about an hour late.

A Belated but Heartfelt Thank You 💛 I know this is long overdue, but I didn’t want to let more time pass without expressing my sincere gratitude to the tea community for the many lovely birthday wishes last Sunday. Your kind messages truly brightened my day! Life has been a whirlwind since returning from a much-needed and wonderful trip, and between work and home, I haven’t had much time to log in. Still, I wanted to pause and thank each of you who took a moment to celebrate with me—your thoughtfulness means so much. Special thanks to AF, Paula M, Bambi, Karen G, Kathryn, John, Michelle P, Khrissi, K&K, Debbie, Cas, M, Angelica, Shelly, Samantha S, Ruth, Mary B, Janet R, Steve, Katie R, Adrian, Kate B, Ebeth, Ottum, Jen S, Anneke, Tenise, and Age for your sweet birthday posts. And a heartfelt shoutout to Anneke, Mary W, Crystal, ArtyJen, Nancy, Angel, Ebeth, Ottum, and John for the generous gifts of tea—your kindness and generosity truly touched me. Thank you all for making my day so special. I’m lucky to be part of such a thoughtful and generous community.

Happy Thursday, everyone. Almost to the weekend!
