Taste
Psalm 34:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
I haven’t paid attention to the garden in a few years, except to enjoy it’s delights. It has remained well tended by my nephews and they deliver goodies to the house now and again. This year I went out to see it and the wonder of its beauty – both with my eyes and taste buds. I ended up taking my camera every few weeks. Finally, I was able to take my camera and baskets to enjoy the harvest. It is a remarkable feast and oh so tasty – especially when shared with friends and family.
May you find tasty things to enjoy. May those tastes open up your eyes to see the wonder around you. May you know the joy of a carrot just washed from the garden or a yellow wax bean eaten while you stand next to the plant.
I’m So Excited!
It’s almost here! The trees are starting to turn and the weather was kind today. Autumn is on it’s way!
Temperatures that I enjoy, smells that bring me alive, visions of beauty all around, and tastes that I could dine on every day.
Some say they don’t like the autumn because they know what’s coming after. I disagree. Why torture yourself about the difficult thing to come when there is a great thing right here at your finger tips? Be in the moment, and enjoy this most amazing gift. So many in this world have not ever seen the gorgeous autumn that we get in Michigan.
Happy Autumn!
Hard vs. Soft
I am a tea drinker. I enjoy all kinds of teas, especially herbal and oolong.
At work, I desire to drink tea to avoid the pop and coffee options. However, the tea at work tastes lousy! I usually have to use two bags, and even then there’s hardly any flavor. I even use the hot water spigot to make it, and THEN microwave it for another two minutes. Still, the flavor remains flat and blah.
I hathe found the reason! Hard vs. soft.
At work, it is city water which is softened. At home, it is hard water, which has only some basic filters, but not softened for drinking. (For washing dishes and all bathroom water, it is softened – no lime build up here!)
Now I bring bottles of water from home into the office to make my tea and to enjoy straight.
The tea is so very much better! With only one bag, the flavor is divine! It’s just like the hot tea my mom and I enjoy all winter long by the pot. (I mean tea-pot, and not with marijuana pot.)
Morale of the Story: When it’s dreadful at the office, bring in a bit of home to cheer it up.
