My choice for today’s Photo Friday “Home” prompt isn’t actually a picture of my home, but rather a remarkable building fondly known as “Canada House” which is located not all that far from our place in Windsor. As you can well imagine, it’s a bit of an icon in the city and draws a lot of attention from passersby!
Canada House – Windsor, Ontario

And… today’s happiness is brought to you by my afternoon cuppa, which in this case was a rich, flavourful blend of tea called Chocolate Rocket. Loose leaf tea is satisfying and happy-making to me in so many ways – the look, the aroma, the brewing process, the preparation, the taste – and today’s blend had the added benefit of being part of a very generous DAVIDsTEA gift package sent to me by my co-workers that I’m still enjoying a few months later. Warm and happy feelings all around!

The fact that it was Friday made me happy. I am dealing with a frustrating personal matter, and the weekend means I have a lot more time to devote to it. By the way, I find it hard to visualize a chocolate tea that tastes good (I’ve had some that were awful). I went to the David’sTea website to check it out – and the blend of ingredients sounds great – raspberry and almond included – but in the imaginary tasting area of my mind, I don’t see it. Guess it’s something I would need to taste for myself.

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried a chocolate tea before, but I quite like this one. I had it with milk and some sweetener – I use Sucanat (whole cane sugar that has a bit of a molasses-y flavour), so it’s possible that it would have altered the taste slightly rather than just sweetening the tea. I should try the tea without adding anything to see what it tastes like on its own!
Hope you get the frustrating issue dealt with satisfactorily.

That’s such an interesting house. I went back and read your original post too, Laurel. 🙂 They must go all out on Canada Day!
As for what made me happy today: morning coffee, sunshine and Murphy the Bichon. Plus, hubby’s happy because his work week is over, which makes me happy too. Have a good weekend.

He really has made the project a labour of love! We were fortunate to be able not only to see inside, but to do so on Canada Day when all he’d pulled out all the stops.
Have a great weekend!

I know, right?! I was tempted to nibble on the almonds, but managed to resist. 😉

I’m new to this brand – this gift box is the first time I’ve tried it, and I’m having fun working through all the flavours I received! The Organic Cream of Earl Grey I had the other day was fabulous.
