June 1 already? Where did May go?

Most of my tasks are done digitally, but I do like my ...

humble desk calendar, and the month by month tradition.

Another monthly tradition, changing my Lucite calendar ...

to new artwork by artist/friend Terry Garrett ...

a new years gift that Terry makes for friends ...

 I feel so lucky to be on that list. Thanks Terry!

WonderWoman says she remembers me telling her when  she was younger, that time goes faster the older you get. She said now she knows that it's really true. Being 30 years her senior, I said, "Oh wait"! I know it's not New Years, but this is clever, right?

I receive no compensation from Rishi, but I am a customer.

I'm including this e-mail because of it's beauty & for tea lovers?

J A P A N E S E   G Y O K U R O   &   S H I N C H A  now available for a limited time Three of our teammates just returned from a hands-on origin trip to Korea and Japan. We're excited to share a sneak peak of their adventures in the high elevation gardens of Shizuoka, Japan where they experienced the first flush Tencha harvest season. Stay tuned for upcoming Journal entries full of all the travel highlights.   To complement their journeys, we're showcasing six new additions to our Garden Direct collection from Japan. Enjoy these exceptionally uncommon Shincha and Gyokuro micro-lots now before we sell out.   NISHI-SAN'S GYOKURO Shade-grown Gyokuro offering a complex flavor with notes of maitake mushroom broth and sweet pea balanced with kombu umami.  NISHI-SAN'S SHINCHA Single Cultivar: Saemidori This Shincha produces a vivid, bright green infusion with an amazingly fresh-savory profile featuring slightly-salty umami. SHINCHA Single Cultivar: Yamakai Prized for its intense floral fragrance; we detect notes of carnation rose and macadamia nut in this years' harvest. UJI GYOKURO SECRET GARDEN A rarefied vintage-blended Gyokuro from artisans in the famous Uji region, whose layered complexity is revealed with elegant, reverberating umami. YAME GYOKURO Single Cultivar: Yabukita Fresh notes of pleasant grassiness are balanced with a light dewy umami that transitions into delicate aromas of pine. OKABE GYOKURO Single Cultivar: Yabukita Deep kabuse style tea with Okabe's trademark balance of intense kombu umami and vivid salty-sweetness.

A smile for Saturday ...
