If it’s good tea, I tend to horde it until it goes bad. If it’s Puerh, I tend to horde it until it goes better. On those rare occasions when I actually do finish something, I feel exultant, like there is hope that I am getting better.

The clown is an unloved drifter. For me, he recalls my eldest’s infancy; for her, one more thing she doesn’t need to drag along. He has nothing to do with my tea except to add a blotch of color in photos. He has spent most of his life in a file cabinet drawer, where he can not menace innocent TeaGirls, so when I take him out he is very well behaved and appreciative of the reprieve.

I chose quite thick plexiglass so there is no risk, but it looks bad and will get worse. I have been meaning to get some 1” doweling to prop them up. Thanks for inspiring me to get it done this long weekend.

The stuff in front of it gives that illusion in the photo, but it is sitting very safely on the box it came in, just behind and above the clutter.
