One thing that I love about winter evenings is how cozy it is to be indoors where it is warm and toasty and the light is warm and comforting while it is dark outside.  Our homes are never more welcoming than when it is blustery, cold, and dark outside.

My daughter received the cutest little teapot and warmer for Christmas from her aunt, uncle, and cousins.  It is so beautiful in it’s simplicity that it makes the tea drinking experience extra special.  During the evening on New Year’s Day, we enjoyed a pot of Hibiscus tea together.  We used the last two tea bags from the box so I will have to get more.  It is very good iced as well as hot.  Thanks to my sister-in-law, Heather, for introducing me to this new flavor of herbal tea.
