Getting ready for winter: tea meditation

I know where the squirrel is making its nest. I watched it nibble still-green leaves off the tips of the branches and stuff them in its mouth, clamber up to a huge silver maple limb and disappear inside, quickly emerging to do it all again. Two bowls of kamairicha tea, surprised that the orange zinnia is turning hot pink at the tips as it fades. . . . #teameditation #morningritual #squirrel #gettingreadyforwinter #zinnia #kamairicha #tea
