I wrote exactly one review on my blog last month. Over achiever. Had plans to start June (JUNE!?!?) out better, but since waking up at least once every hour last night and today being a dreary gloomy gray day, dragging out the camera just wasn’t going to happen. Instead I’ve wandered about aimlessly much of the day. Finally got the ambition to brew. This was an excellent choice. The bergamot aroma of the dry leaf as well as the ruby red brew made me smile. This really is a good EG. I like mine a little on the rugged side, so I over leafed and used boiling water. That gave it a nice bite. Watching the leaf and cooling the water down to 195 or so will smooth it out nicely – but not today. This is barbarian tea day. grunt. scratch.

(I guess I was just born barbaric, then.:) Local weathercaster mentioned last night that our area had TWO rain free days in May. There’s this round yellow thing in my window today. Not sure what to do.
I recommend grabbing a lap full of kitty, a pitcher of over leafed barbarian tea, and head for the patio. It was gorgeous here today. Wish I could have spent it on the porch. Wife needed some stress reducing shopping therapy today. So, porch tomorrow… I hope.
Unfortunately, June is &*%^#&$#^ month at the salt mine. I can only dream of front porch lounging (sigh).
If you have the time, I heartily second KS’s suggestion. Spending a day outside on the porch with kitties, tea, and books sounds mighty fine indeed.
