tea wisdom

this afternoon my tea told me that the purpose of this life is to enjoy every moment...
...
I thought about the wise words of my pomegranate green tea while cleaning up cat puke a few hours later, looking for the enjoyment in it I did laugh to myself and it was more enjoyable than usual.

leaves tucked in my pocket

a festive custom garland

the top of Kadee's tree

a dainty dancing queen

& peppermint sprinkles

. . .

I blinked and the first week of December was already underway! The days have
kept me busy preparing for my show this weekend, shipping packages and finding
time to decorate the tree, fold warm laundry, curl up with Hermie, make lists and
watch The Grinch.

friday morning

sugar + tea

An evening out with my family, an early celebration for the two July birthdays coming up...

my dessert is the one in the top right corner, lemon meringue with berries, it was extraordinarily delicious!

...

Thank you for such a wonderful night, Mom & Dad, I love our family and the places that are special to us...xo. {7.14}

two nights ago

One luscious ripe red tomato disappeared in the night. It was completely plucked and gone! I wondered for a moment if the neighborhood kids had hopped over and eaten it, which makes me laugh as I type that. It looks as if an opossum has been visiting the garden just as much as I have and beat me to the first taste of the season. {7.13}

Good Morning...made myself a long list of things to do, and the day began with a visit to some Etsy blogs while drinking my tea where I found that  Stelabird is doing a sleepy owl ornament giveaway, her creations are so cute, take a peek.
