When Love speaks, the voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.Shakespeare – Love’s Labour’s Lost
Cookies from Valentines past
And a cup of tea…

Cammomile, Mint & Fennel 
Grind with Pestle & Mortar 
Heat water to boil and cover for 20 minutes 
You will have about 3 cups of tea. 
Add a little honey and sip 
Use a cup warmer to keep it hot
Herbs for this tea combo were raised in the garden. It brings back that special taste of summer especially when the winter seem so long and cold. Add a scone and you will round out your morning. I found my mortar and pestle on Amazon. It is heavy duty, cleans up easily and will last for a long time, I think. Add a cup warmer and you can sip away all morning.

Midnight Read
Braiding Sweetgrass
by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Braiding Sweetgrass is one of the most beautiful and unusual books in my Kindle Library. I will read it again. The author’s use of native languages is unique and it might be good to listen to the book in Audible to hone in on the pronunciation of native dialects.
