'Hug a Tree' earthy tea day

Happy Tea on Tuesday everyone.

My sister Lanette gave me a package of

very earthy tea...

Zengranny's

Sage Gardens Berry Delicious Tea...

--hand blended and infused with intention--

The dried herbs are in fairly large pieces,

and the berries are dried and whole,

and it takes about 15 minutes to infuse.

It is not in separate tea bags.

Ingredients are:

blueberries, hibiscus, green tea,

lemongrass, rosehips, orange peel, spearmint and

yerba mate (which comes from a rainforest tree)

It also comes in an eco friendly package.

You can find zengranny products

You may be asking ...
What in the world is THAT in the photo?

More earthy things, that's what.

My tea is shown here with some earthy things

from my friend Karen.

The large long 'earthy' pod looking thing

came from a palm tree in the area.

The other two 'earthy things' came off of a tree stump,

and are a hard tree fungus

called 'artist conk'.

 I enjoy the uniqueness, wonder, and beauty that

Mother Earth gives us.

AND...speaking of 'earthy'...

This is my friend Karen!
Isn't she cute hugging that tree!!!

Karen was visiting family in Seattle

when she felt compelled to have a conversation

with this wonderful tree

 ( yes, she is known to do this type of thing, and more of us should )

and then give it a big hug

(which has been shown to be good for your health).

She told me she has a

"love for the reaching to heaven giants,

sanctuary for lots of God's little creatures,

providers of oxygen to all living creatures."
I hope this inspires you all...

to go hug a tree!

I know what Karen will wonder after seeing this,
 how come she is on the same post as fungus????  LOL
I love ya my friend!!!

 Savor the Day!
