cardinals coming and going—flying through the slats on the little side porch, eating at the feeder, drinking in the fountain
a single peony shimmering in the morning sun
cups of orange spice tea on cool nights
family gatherings with pineapple popsicles
glasses of deep red wine into the night
cool linen sheets for afternoon naps
Wonderful photos, drawing and thoughts, Sylvia! ❤️😊

Which orange spice tea is your favorite? I have a tin at home, but can’t remember the name. 🤔🤔🤔🫖🫖🫖

Right now I’m drinking Stash Orange Spice, but I think my favorite is Bigelow’s Constant Comment Black tea with orange and spices. I always go back to that one!

Constant Comment, that’s the name I was searching for and but couldn’t remember. Makes for a great solar tea, too, for that late afternoon or early evening picnic.

Does it? I didn’t know that, I’ve never tried it cold.

I think you might like it. Constant Comment as an iced tea fits with a cookout quite nicely.
