WELL GUESS WHAT.....IT'S TEA TIME AGAIN.....AND IS IT EVER

EARLY SPRING SNOWDROPS ALONGSIDE OLD LOG STEPS IN THE FOREST

I don't know how many times I've said 'all our snow has melted' but here I am saying it again.  Guess it was just one of those up and down temperature winters.

THESE WOOLY SHEEP ARE RIGHT ROUND THE CORNER FROM OUR PARK

WITH THE SHEEP ARE A COUPLE LLAMAS

WOOLY SHEEPS

THESE TWO LITTLE GUYS HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR WOOLY COATS

It was a drive up to Goderich for Pheebs and I with a stop on the way home for a forest walk on Kitchigami Road.  Nice to see greenery emerging from the forest floor.  A few skiffles of melting snow, muddy trails, and a brief touch of sunlight in the tree tops.

IT WAS A SPOOKY LOOKING FOREST WE WALKED IN THIS MORNING

SO NICE TO SEE THESE FOREST FERNS

Home shortly after 10 I'd hoped to get a few more outside things done but found my energy levels depleted so retired to my recliner and settled in with Kindle reader.  Supposed to be sunny on Wednesday so I'm hoping to re-charge my batteries then.  I'm sure looking forward to some warmer air.  

A BRIEF TOUCH OF SUNLIGHT ON THE PINE TREES CANOPY

Heard some machines rumbling about somewhere outside so looked out to see a couple tree cutters moving into position to take down the remainder of large pine tree that had been partially topped off last October.  I can now finally plant a couple cedar trees I had bought late last year in the spot where the big pine tree came out.  I like planting landscape things like shrubs and trees:))

ON OUR AFTERNOON WALK THIS TINY PATCH OF SNOW LOWER LEFT WAS ALL WE COULD FIND

Well, I'm back on tea again.  A Gal in our Park is a tea afficienado who blends her own teas and wondered it I'd like to try some of her masterful concoctiouns.  Sure why not I thought so she dropped me off a decades worth of assorted tea samples Monday.  

HERE'S MY TEA STASH:))

I've already tried the 'Honey Lemon Breezy' which made me kinda wheezy.  I'm joking of course but I did like it.  I have yet to try 'Dark Chocolate Chai' oh my.  'Strawberry Fields' should last me 'Forever' and 'Summer Pear' may be quite a dare.  I hope 'Sawadee White' don't get me tight.  Might have to wait for Christmas to try "Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride' and with 'Lavender Oolong' how can I go wrong.  'Mocha Latte' should make my day.  I hear White Cinnamon Sage' is all the rage and 'Pink Lady Epicure' is gonna do me for sure.  I have a hunch 'Nutty Granola Crunch' will fix me up right after lunch.  'Ginger Bread Cookie' and Spiced Ginger Plum' mix em together and Yum Yum Yum.  I'm sure with a cup of 'Caramel Nougat ' I'll soon be getting me a big fat cat.  'Peachy Lychee' may have me up in the night for a, well you know.  I hope 'Apple Mango Sangria' doesn't give me, well you know again.  Geeezzz, I had better not mix 'Peachy Lychee' and 'Apple Mango Sangria' or I could find myself in quite a fix.  Well these are just a few of the samples Shannon brought over for me and I do intend to try every one of them.  Yessireeee I sure gots lots of tea.  Say, that reminds me......Did ya hear about the old Indian Chief who sat up all night drinking tea?  Yep, they found him in the morning drowned in his own Tee-Pee:))  Thanks Shannon:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A sailor meets a pirate in a bar, and take turns boasting of their adventures on the high seas. The sailor notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, hook, and an eyepatch.The sailor asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out a shark bit my leg off.""Wow!" said the sailor. "What about your hook"?"Well...", replied the pirate, "While my men and I were plundering in the middle east, I was caught stealing from a merchant and the punishment for theft in the middle east is the loss of the hand that steals""Incredible!" remarked the sailor. "How did you get the eyepatch"?"A sea gull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate."You lost your eye to a sea gull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously."Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."
