I am here sipping a cup of herbal tea. . . linden leaf tonight. It smells very floral. I do not sweeten my tea, not hot or cold. Must not be southern enough.
Hubby is bowling. I am going to bed. My life is somewhat boring.
Coffee pot is ready to be turned on in the morning.
A breakfast casserole is made.
Lunches are packed for both of us.
All my clothes are clean, except for what I am wearing.
I have washed dishes.
I guess it will be okay to sleep now. Get up and do it all again in the morning.
Good night myLot.

I often leave the dishes for the next time, but it feels really good when I get caught up.

We had talked about it in an herb class, so I bought some when I got the chance.

Eating and wearing clothes are two things we do pretty regularly. When the weather is nice we can break things up with outdoor activity.

Peppermint would tend to wake me up. I remember having small kids. Now there is no one here, unless they come to visit.

I cannot drink tea without sugar. Better for you if you can drink it without out it though!

I haven't know about linden leaf before,So search it online.Do you drink it on the regular basis ?
The Linden tree is found in both Europe and North America. There are many folktales concerning linden across Europe. One of the most radical is of Celtic origin that states that if you sit under the linden tree you will be cured of epilepsy. In Roman and G

I drink a large variety of herbal teas. I had learned about it at an herbal class, so when I found some I bought it to try.

@GardenGerty Sounds like you put faith in herbal teas.I think their effects vary from person to prison.

I like Sleepytime Vanilla herbal tea before the evening meditation/bath/bed routine.
No sweetener, huh? Hmm, we're gonna have to send the Southern Police after you!

I do get bored at my daily routine too. Sometimes I will be crazy and not wash dishes

It takes a little time to get a load for the dishwasher, unless I do some cooking, then the pile can get overwhelming. It feels good to have them done.

What is your favorite tea? I like simple and plain black iced tea. However, there are times when I want to buy flavored. Any flavored suggestions and not herbal? Thank you!

Any kind of chai is great. I do not sweeten mine or put milk in it, although that is the traditional way to serve that spiced black tea. I also love Constant Comment by Bigelow. It is black tea flavored with orange and cinnamon and cloves. We drink it both hot and iced. When I was much much younger this was the tea that Long John Silver's served.
