~Bluberry Scones~

Ever since I had tea at the Brown Palace Hotel,
nearly three months ago now, I have wanted
to make scones.  I finally went on line to find
a recipe for blueberry scones.  (Next I will try
the buttermilk scones.)  It is not difficult and
the results are most satisfying.




I served these for breakfast this morning with
Brown Palace Crown Jewel Tea.  They were
warm and light.  Yes, comforting and
satisfying.


Wishing you all a wonderful
Saturday.

Drinking a daily cup of tea will surely starve the apothecary.

I'm having...my favorite Lipton Blueberry and Pomegranate White Tea.

My teacup is...a plain and simple cup.

I'm feeling...rested.   The morning is cool and the air is crisp.


On my mind...gratitude for the  beginning of a new day.



A bit of Moonbeam Coriopsis  in the garden.


Wishing all a wonderful day!

~Adventure Tour Express~


~~~~~

Adventures take different turns sometimes.  We were returning from a family reunion in Colorado and a visit to my mothers in Montana when we decided to take a side trip.  We were certainly pleasantly surprised by what we saw in Mitchell, South Dakota.  The Corn Palace truly is a palace decorated with corn...It is amazing and very lovely!  It would never have occurred to me to embellish a building in this way, but it really works!


It's corn, every bit of it.

Please share with us any surprise or exciting unexpected side trips you have had.  No adventure is to mundane...Life is an adventure!!!  Link your adventure below so we can all enjoy!

A Little Cat Humor!

I don't have a clue how he got into the sack, but Sam was perfectly happy just nesting there.  Sam provides us with a lot of humorous moments.  What does your animal do to cheer you?

For the gift of animals I say,
"Thanks be to God!"
