Preparing for Winter
By Lynn, on November 14th, 2007
I went yesterday and bought a few boxes of tea bags. I routinely drink hot teas and infusions, but in the spring and summer I pick a lot of things fresh for brewing. As winter approaches and we light our gas heating stoves, and the air in our home gets drier, I enjoy keeping a pot of hot tea on the stove for drinking. It not only soothes a dry throat, but it helps keep us hydrated and it makes the house smell wonderful!

I have not tried the Oregon Chai yet, but it looked interesting. I know already that the Celestial Seasonings teas are good, and I always try and keep the echinacea complete care on hand.
If you visit the Celestial Seasonings website, you’ll find that there are coloring pages.
Just check under Art and Inspiration.
As Pooh would say, Happy Winds-day,

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
