Three small bouquets graced my tea tray this morning.
Starting on the left is a small branch from my daphne bush and a hellebore bloom.
In the middle is a soft pink primrose, which will be planted in the garden at the end of the month.
And on the right is a hyacinths bulb beginning to bloom. I found it at Trader Joe's in the vase for $2.49 and couldn't resist this small treat of a flower blooming on my tea tray.
The tea this morning is Shui Jin Gui from Wuyi Origins in China. A very nice black tea perfect for my tea tray. It is like a flower in my cup.
"Some moment happens in your life
that you say ‘yes’ right up to the roots of your hair,
that makes it worth having been born
just to have happen…
laughing with somebody
till the tears run down your cheeks…
waking up to the first snow…
being in bed with somebody you love...
Whether you thank God for such a moment
or thank your lucky stars,
it is a moment that is trying to open up your whole life.
If you turn your back on such a moment
and hurry along to business as usual,
it may lose you the ball game.
If you throw your arms around such a moment
and hug it like crazy,
it may save your soul."
Toss your arms around each moment and savor each day.
Sending love and a flower.
