How to Make Southern-Style Honey Sweet Tea

Whip up a classic, half-gallon batch of sweet honey iced tea at home with this simple recipe: [1]

1. Brew the Tea: Bring 4 cups of water to a near boil and steep 4–5 black tea bags (such as Luzianne) for 10–15 minutes.
2. Add the Honey: Remove the tea bags and stir in \(\frac{1}{3}\) to \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup of raw honey while the tea is still warm so it dissolves completely.
3. Chill: Pour the mixture into a large pitcher, add 4 cups of cold water, and refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice with lemon slices or fresh mint.
   Tip: Clover honey is an excellent all-around choice since it provides sweetness without overpowering the tea's natural flavor profile. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Love this piece: Even in utter darkness, I have my breath and my body. My body is my anchor. My breath is a beacon I’ve learned to trust even in uncertainty. When a whirlwind moves around me, even when the ground beneath my feet dissolves and I’m suspended in air with nowhere to rest, I have a stillness that allows me to observe. It doesn’t make the threshold less frightening. But it makes it crossable.

Behind the complicated details of the world stand the simplicities: God is good, the grown-up man or woman knows the answer to every question, there is such a thing as truth, and justice is as measured and faultless as a clock. Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood—for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.

BLACKSTONE MA Axle the Dog: Woonsocket Maximum of 3 dogs over the age of 6 months per single-family residence.

This lovely boy became a member of the Blackstone Regional Animal Shelter family when he was surrendered to us. He was previously adopted off a Facebook Ad, lasted 2 seconds in his new home, and when his original family was contacted, they ghosted the adopter.

Axle is neutered, up to date on rabies, dhpp vaccines, tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases. On top of that.... microchipped and evaluated by a third-party trainer.


This handsome boy is packed full of fun! He would be the best walking/hiking buddy, never getting pooped and pushing you to continue!
This boy may be four but is super playful, smart, and trainable!
When he went to his evaluation and our trainer loved him and actually has had him over there a couple times to run through some things in regard to training!!

If you are looking for a larger puppy but don't want to have to start from zero with potty training, Axle would be great for you!
One of Axles favorite pass time activities is fetch, he loves to fetch no matter the time of day. He will also find you if you disappear to give you the toy, just to continue the game!

When it comes to kids, Axle might be a bit overwhelming, he can be a little jumpy, however, he listens when you tell him to stop and sit!
With really young kids' Axle can be a bit much, however, would be amazing with older children that can better handle his size!
Axle would do great In a family setting with or without kids.
Axle would also do good with other dogs but just like any dog we have in and evaluated, should have a meet and greet with the potential dog they will be living with!

Axles adoption will be $475, covering the vetting expenses.

SOOO, if you think you're the purfect home for this handsome but smart fella, contact the Blackstone Valley Animal Control at 508-883-BVAC (2822) or email aco@blackstonepolice.org. Applications can be done in advance or at the time of your meet and greet. Applications can be found at blackstonepolice.org under the Animal Control tab.

>It’s the birthday of Helen Keller, born in Tuscumbia, Alabama (1880). As a toddler, she became sick with an illness that left her both blind and deaf. She became a difficult child, until her 20-year-old teacher, Anne Sullivan, managed to communicate the letters for “water” while running water from the pump on the little girl’s hand. It was a breakthrough, and on that day alone, Keller learned 30 words.

Keller was very bright—she went on to Radcliffe College, where she became a popular lecturer and began sharing her story and advocating for others with disabilities. She also became a radical activist along the way, joining the Socialist Party of Massachusetts in 1909, when she was 29, and then the Industrial Workers of the World. She supported Communist Russia and hung a red flag over her desk. The FBI opened a file on her. She advocated for women’s suffrage and for access to birth control. She helped found the American Civil Liberties Union.

Helen Keller died in 1968, at the age of 87.

She said, “No one has ever given me a good reason why we should obey unjust laws.”

It’s the birthday of writer and activist Grace Lee Boggs, born in Providence, Rhode Island (1915).

It’s the birthday of writer and activist Grace Lee Boggs, born in Providence, Rhode Island (1915). Her parents were immigrants from Guangdong province in China, and her father ran a Chinese restaurant in downtown Providence. She grew up in a tiny apartment above the restaurant. Her mother didn’t know how to read — she had been sold into slavery in China as a young girl, and her only escape was an arranged marriage with Grace’s father, who was 20 years her senior. Grace remembers being a young girl, crying over one thing or another, and hearing the waiters in her father’s restaurant suggest her parents should leave her outside to die since she was a girl. She said, “That’s how I learned early on about living for change.” When her family moved to New York City to open up restaurants there, they had to buy their house in Queens in the name of their Irish contractor, because Asians weren’t allowed to own land there.

She won a scholarship to Barnard College, where she studied philosophy. She went on to get her Ph.D. at Bryn Mawr College, and after she graduated, she couldn’t find a job — not only was it impossible for women of color to get jobs as academics, but even department stores told her that they didn’t hire Asians. So she headed to Chicago and was eventually offered a job at the University of Chicago Philosophy Library. She earned $10 a week and lived for free on a couch in a basement filled with rats. She wore the same clothes every day: a blue corduroy jumper, saddle oxfords, and when it was cold out, a leopard coat.

The rats were so bad that she went to check out the South Side Tenants Organization, which fought against rat-infested housing on the South Side. Through that group, she began working with the black community in Chicago, and she participated in the March on Washington. She became a radical community organizer, and a few years later, she met Jimmy Boggs, a black autoworker in Detroit. He was recently divorced, with six children. For their first date, Grace invited Jimmy over to dinner. He showed up two hours late, and he refused to eat the lamb chops she had prepared because he thought they were too fancy. She put on a Louis Armstrong record, and Boggs announced that he hated Armstrong. But by the end of the date, he asked her to marry him. She accepted without hesitation, and they were married for 40 years, until his death in 1993. She said: “My knowledge had come mostly from books. He had never been to college, although he was full of ideas. [...] He was the person in the [...] community to whom everyone came for advice [...] So when he asked me to marry him on our first date [...] I didn’t hesitate for a minute.”

Boggs continued her work as a radical activist in Detroit, and she and her husband worked together on projects and publications. Her books include Revolution and Evolution in the Twentieth Century (1974), co-written with her husband; and most recently, The Next American Revolution (2011), published when she was 95 years old.

She said: “Do something local. Do something real, however, small. And don’t dis the political things, but understand their limitations.”

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.^®
