Granny's gone and done it again

We have a huge flock of robins here, eating the berries from our huge tree in front of the house! Then pooping all over the place...

Granny, Do you like herbal tea? Sleepy Time or anything mint are my favorites. You can put honey in them and drink them warm or if you prefer cold. Warm would probably sooth your voice more but cold will help it also.

Thank you, I don't have to go tomorrow thank goodness. I called them and it was for my pain meds. I thought it was and she did that last month. Its every 3 months. She did tell me to drink some tea w/ honey would help bring my voice back. Not being a tea drinker I have no idea what to buy. I assume she meant hot tea?

Green tea is good for you! Tastes good.

Black tea, like Earl Gray, might be more to her taste since she's a coffee drinker and it has caffeine.

I went back in the closet where I had painted the edges. Going up and down the ladder to spread paint with the roller, I got all out of breath before I even got halfway done. This Bronchitis is miserable!

Seems to me green tea has caffeine too. Let me look it up.
Yes, 20 to 50 mg per 8 Oz cup. About half what coffee has.

I like a mild ginger tea, hot, to sooth sore throat and cough. I add a tiny bit of powdered ginger to a cup of hot tea, sweeten with honey.

hope everyone had a good day. We have had milder temps today, even did chores in just a long sleeved shirt instead of a heavy coat. I'll enjoy it while it lasts because it's supposed to be in the 20's this weekend. At least I don't have to shovel snow! or contend with icy roads.

I've been getting a joint of fresh ginger, thinly cut a few slices off the end, boil them for about a minute then strain into a cup. Add a slice of fresh lemon and a small squeeze of honey, very soothing to the throat. And just darn good any time!

12° here today. The roads are salted and it is melting the snow but the snow in the gutters isn't melting so there is nowhere for the runoff to go creating icy slush. The roads here are closed as they work to remove the piles of snow in the gutters. DH had an appointment and he dropped me off to walk home half a mile and he went to Good Will after the appointment. It's dark now and hopefully the roads are open so he can come home
