In this episode, I'm slowly and softly removing the petals of my roses from their base and softly dropping them onto the table. They are then collected and dropped into a bowl before I take them to be spread out to dry. This time of year in the soggy Pacific Northwest the roses that are still blooming aren't usually able to open well, and do something called "balling" which means they sort of glue themselves shut. Not ideal for looking at, but they still make a great tea, which I love to have when cold and dreary weather sets in. I'll give these a few days to slowly dry out and then pop them into the oven for a few minutes on its lowest setting to crisp up before storage.

This is ideal for falling asleep to as almost a background noise, but with enough triggers to hopefully get you into the bliss state as well. There's light popping, plopping, swishing, plinging, and no talking. 

Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy!
