Queen Catherine from Harney & Sons

Long day at the polls yesterday. Got up at four am to get ready and to load precinct supplies. Set up at 5:30 am, opened at 6:30 am. Five hundred people came in, closed at 7:30 pm, and finished packing up and delivering supplies back at 9:15 pm.

This morning, getting to stay at home for several extra hours, was especially serene. It is completely overcast and not as blazing hot, so a pot of tea after breakfast was very appealing. I chose the Queen, my faithful friend and encourager, comforting and fortifying pal, to get me ready for the rest of this day! Wonderful stuff, and I drank the whole pot by myself. No additions. This is such a classic and versatile black tea.

Does that represent heavy turnout? I got kinda tickled at our first local election in our new burg - nearly 100 people showed up according to the nice election ladies; a record!

Not really heavy turnout but about what I expected. I think that is about one-third of our precinct. Do you think someday we will receive a unique code and just text in our votes? LOL!

Seems appropriate, politics and the Queen!

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about three years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
