Come Away with Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1ktAkH6C-w
Music for getting started with the weekend.
Come away with me.
Dream of mountain tops, golden seashores, or walks in your neighborhood.
Come away with me.
Snuggle in with a quilt, a cup of tea, and a good book.
I am reading Broken Paradise by Cecilia Samartin.
Dance in the moonlight.
Sing songs in your heart.
Come away with me and dream.
Happy weekend, dear friends!

Delight of the Day
This morning the wind began whipping around my house
and the rain came pouring down.
It was the kind of morning you just want to wrap in something warm
and sip a warm cup of tea.
Much to my surprise the electrical power went out
and just now it has come on.
I had just made my tea and the toast had just finished toasting.
I relished the quiet of the house in simple pleasure.
Perfect timing!
My delight for today was 2 hours of quiet with a warm cup of tea.
What is your delight for today?

Little Red Riding Hood and Tea
Recently I felt like Little Red Riding Hood as off
to visit my aunt in the care facility.
She hasn't felt very well lately and I wanted to cheer her
with a basket of tea, a piece of chocolate, and a cookie.
I thought others of you might like the idea.
She wasn't able to drink the tea, she did enjoy sucking
on a sliver of chocolate as I sipped tea.
She asked me to wash her face and the warm
tea water was perfect for a face washing.
Such a simple gesture, but one that delights someone in need.
All you need is a basket, a thermos of warm water,
cups, teapot, napkins, tea, and a goodie or two.
The teapot isn't necessary if carrying teabags,
but have some way to dispose the teabag after it is steeped.
I would love to hear if this inspires even one of you
to do a simple gesture of taking tea to someone in need of a visit.

Travel Dreaming
Reminiscing!
Dreaming of travel in the world.
Missing my adventures in France.
Missing this beautiful apartment in Provence.
Dreaming of walking once more in little villages.
Stopping for a cup for of tea with this view.
And coming here during lavender season.
Oh how the travel bug does prevail in my soul.
I believe the more you travel,
the more travel is desired.
If you could choose to travel anywhere right now,
where would you go and what would you do?

November Welcome
Welcome to November!
Let's have some tea.
Remnants of October still remain,
but rainy weather is on it's way.
My tea choice this morning is something bold.
Bold is what is needed to face the cold winter months.
On the package of my tea it says:
Sou Chong, Choice Selected China Tea
From time immemorial, Tea has been the national drink of the
Chinese people. From their point of view. Tea is everybody's
drink and indispensable at any time. It's strength has a
sweetening influence, its flavour is subtle and enchanting.
It has beneficial effect on body and mind.
"SOU CHONG" is best of China Teas for foreign taste.
So this morning I am having Sou Chong, not smoked, tea.
It smells of a bonfire and reminds me of times in the
past on a cold evening sitting outside under the trees,
warming myself by an open fire.
Welcome to November!
Sit awhile and have a cup of "bold" tea.
