A friend from church grows and harvests herbs to make her own, delicious blends of teas.
Recently we found we were running low on a couple of favorites, so we ordered refills plus a lovely new blend Mom had tasted at a ladies' meeting.
Many of the teas carry names as soothing as their flavors. This one was "Afternoon Visit."
The next Sunday morning Elsa and I couldn't get to church, but Mom brought home this beautiful surprise!
Besides being a gardener and tea-maker (and shepherd, and writer, and wife/mother/grandmother, and...), Judy is also an artist. Her special touches on these jar lids continue to bring us joy!
Plus she sent home an extra tea, her "Cold Time" blend. Little did we know how well-timed was her generosity.
A few weeks later, in the one-week gap between Grandmas's funeral and our sister's wedding, Elsa got a bad cold and fever. So I played "nurse" for a couple of days, dishing out all the remedies we knew from doctors and friends. This tea is the most appealing form of "medicine!"
Then a couple days later, Elsa gave me "a taste of my own medicine" by putting me on the whole routine after kindly sharing a bit of her cold.
Thank you, Judy, for the wonderful tea-timing!
