~Tea Talk~

Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?

~Rupert Brooke~

I'm having...Irish Breakfast Tea.  Tis the season!

My teacup...is my foolish one.  Just feel that way today!



I'm feeling...excited as tomorrow Marianne and Daniel will be coming to spend the weekend.  She's  gonna help "sissy" with wallpapering while I get to play with Daniel!


On my mind...wondering if there will be enough wallpaper to do the area of the kitchen we want to paper this weekend.  Also, hoping I can maintain my goal of posting my Lenten reflections at  Provident God.  I haven't been very good in the past.

Thanks be to God!

Now won't you join me and visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship is hosting Tea Talk at her house?  Share a cup of tea or a cool refreshing drink with us.

The Day Before the Lenten Journey Begins


You know the day before Lent is like getting ready for a trip.  Before I travel I organize all sorts of things.  I make sure I have the sitter for Duchess and that Sam has someone to come in and check in on him (you know how independent cats are.)  I do that last bit of laundry so there is none to come home to.  The house is made tidier than when we are home (why is that?).  I pack all the bags making sure I have clothes for all kinds of weather (even snow when we go to Colorado), my make-up, medication, books and camera.

Today is the day before my Lenten journey begins this year.  In preparation I have resolved to relax, rest, read and fast from those treats I saver the rest of the year.  May God give me the grace to do so. Another resolution is this.  I, too, will try to keep Provident God up to date.  I have become lax and so this is the real challenge for me this year.  I will make every effort to keep this Journal of my journey up-to-date.

Wishing you all a grand "day before."

-Mosaic Monday~


Hoping For Spring

Hummingbirds and butterflies
Dragon flies and robins
Roses, daisies, and daffodils
All these wonders are Spring to me

Posting this again because I've been homesick for the beautiful scenery at "home."  In just a few months will be going home again for a visit!  The "fix" gets me through the rest of the year!


~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!
Now please visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

~~Tea Talk~~


There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot 
be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.
~Bernard-Paul Heroux~

I'm having...my favorite Good Earth Tea.

My teacup...is one I got at Kohl's.  It's a bright mug for an early morning.



I'm feeling...glad the counter tops are in.  I was able to cook in the kitchen last night for the first time in weeks.  I made Mexican Pizza and brownies!!!  Oh what fun that was!

On my mind...getting more organized and preparing to clean the entire house after all this remodeling.  It is such a MESS!!!!




It only took the gentlemen who installed the counter top 2 hours to do this job.  They were very professional and the workmanship is excellent.

Thanks be to God!
