Bubble tea is a tea based drink with tapioca or fruit at the bottom of the drink. It's either frozen or served with ice. <br />It's one of my favorite drinks.

It's certainly been a warm enough winter so far that I wouldn't be surprised to see mine pop through one of these days, too. Poor squirrel! They can be such a nuisance, but still I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with him.<br /><br />I know how you feel about blogging. I still enjoy it, but writing posts takes me so much time that I don't do it as often, nor can I visit everyone as much as I used to. I have to push myself away from the computer sometimes, or I'd never get anything done! I'm even worse about Facebook. Write when you can and don't feel guilty if you can't visit that often, Sue.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-80622866670919925292012-01-05T16:37:00.648-06:002012-01-05T16:37:00.648-06:00You have a lot of spouts out in the garden.
