OPENING DAY FOR TEA ;’-)

Teaneuring Challenge 2021 Officially begins today. I have done my training and am feeling good, and capable to meet the demands of this challenge.

TEA #1: THE GAMES BEGIN

October 18, 2021
Grounds Coffee Kiosk, Mukilteo WA
English Breakfast tea, do not know the brand but a good one — the kind with no tag hanging from the tea bag ;’-)
I chose an ‘Everything Bagel’ with a schmear (I lived in NY back in the day, so I know what a schmear is even though they called it cream cheese).
At least 2 miles

Today would be one of two days this week (the other one is tomorrow) that are predicted to have no rain. I must ride! This kiosk is not far from home, and I now know that when/if I desire a tea and something, this is an excellent choice so I need not go to Starbucks!! Nothing against Starbucks really, but I do not drink coffee so going there sort of misses the point. The tea they have is fine, but no need to go there for that.




The two baristas at ‘Grounds’ were very pleasant and we had bit of a chat — they liked my Keep Cup ;’-). While waiting for my order I noticed the two painted rocks and could not resist a photo.





I enjoyed my repast in a bit of sun at their only outside table. Once I sat down I felt like I was sitting at a child’s table for a tea party with Kate. It was small and low so that my knees hit it. I appreciated the pumpkin they had placed on the table, and you will note I used both of my bandanas — place mat for my food and drink and a sit upon for the damp chair.



After tea and bagel, I continued on for some more riding in the delightful fall air with sun peeking through for much of the day. I stopped for a look at fall decorations at our little ‘train station’.



And said hello to our resident Beverly Goat who has been redressed for the season.
