T and h2o

Today's T is hosted by Patty at Magpie's Nest.
The theme she chose for today is "water."
Water is of course the main ingredient in a good cup of tea :)
... and a good bowl of oatmeal!
***
Aren't we blessed to have so many choices for clean water?
I choose tap water over bottled water ....
but my tap water comes from here:
Mount Pilchuck Washington

When I lived in Southern Calif. the water came from -?- and it tasted like chlorine - ewwww!
Here in Washington, my water comes from the Cascade Mountains. I know this for sure, because my house participates in the yearly water testing done by the city. The street I live on and north of there is all mountain water. The next street over and south of there is city water from Everett. I feel so blessed to be on the mountain water side of things!

Happy T and h2o!

Mmmmm, I love oatmeal...and tea...and water. Your water sounds wonderful! Living only 100 ft above sea level we aren't quite as blessed. Ours has that familiar chlorine taste so I resort to bottled.

Happy tea day.

Lucky you to get that clean, clear-tasting water! The water here in Los Angeles is certainly clean, but it does taste a bit like chlorine. We filter it, now, and it's fine. Great tea post!

when we lived in Mallorca the town water was awful but when we moved to a village under a mountain it was wonderful & people came to a spring to fill up their plastic bottles for free. We take water for granted don't we ?

those flowers and plants in your window remind me of my gran she made the best cup of tea always in a china cup...it just tastes so different.

thanks for the memories.
