It brings me such joy to see the little turkeys strut about in through the tall grass out back. Having them sit outside my tea room window in the winter makes me wish I could invite them in for tea. Turkeys are cool!

We’ve got this beauty hanging on the tea biz office wall. Our friend, Amy, made it with wood. Since January she has made over 500 of these. Minnesota Strong. #fuckice

Good morning, ya beauties!

Sunrise photo. Text overlay is a quote from Paulo Coelho. “ Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else's bed. Have a smart
mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art.
Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take
chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes.
Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn't
make you happy. Grow.”
