I have seen the morning burning
golden on the mountain in the skies;
aching with the feeling of the
freedom of an eagle
when she flies;
turning on the world
the way
she smiled upon my soul
as I lay dying;
healing as the collors in the sunshine
and the shadows of her eyes;
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.

Good morning, all. It feels like Sunday but I guess it isn't. Holiday today so everyone is home from work, outside washing cars or tending flowers. I'm inside drinking Yorkshire tea and eating fruit. Still feels like Sunday.

I find herbal teas smell too fruity or flowery, rather than 'bad.' Except for Valarian, that is. Horrible smell, but after several attempts I actually grew fond of the smell...

Is 'Chai' really a herbal? I always figured it was a black tea with spices and sweetened condensed milk added to it. (Chai being the local word for 'tea' anyway.) All the recipes I have for making it at home say 'begin with x tea bags...'

I would say most of the standard herbals (anything sold by Celestial Seasons) I find disgusting.

Hear! Hear! Having tried my best to like their very first major tea, 'Red Zinger' back in the day, and failing, I've yet to taste anything they make that I like! Proof that the majority can be wrong!
