The Joy in Tea Talk

I'm having...Iced peach tea.  IT's gonna be another scorcher today...

My teacup... a simple glass full of ice.

I'm feeling... ready to go, I guess.  Only two more days until the LONG WEEKEND!

On my mind...a long weekend in which I have a long list of things I'd like to get done in the yard and to the house.  And there are fond memories of the weeks past that have caused this need to WORK this weekend.

Lovely Old House in downtown St. Charles, MO

And it's for sale!

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy is the finished afghan!  And why it took me so long to finish is beyond me!

THE LAZY DAZE OF SUMMER

As the summer draws to a close I look back on the waning baseball season and remember fondly the game we attended when we were in Denver this summer.  The game itself was a gift, yes, a treasure.  It was the culmination of a day that ended in a WIN for the Rockies over the Braves.

AND THEY WON

12-3

OH! AND ON THAT DATE 43 YEARS AGO, RON AND I WERE WED.  THAT'S WHAT I CALL A WIN, WIN SITUATION!!

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!

The Joy In Tea Talk

I'm having...Pomegranate Pizazz tea this morning.

My teacup... is my favorite cup.

I'm feeling... groggy this morning.  I had to take medication for my back and it always does this to me until I get moving.

On my mind...excitement in anticipation of the visit of Wes, Annie and the girls.  I am also going to a conference this weekend for catechists.

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

~~Mosaic and Macro Monday~~

 

Went in to water my Peace Lily last week and found she had three visitors.  Now I have been accused of not watering my plants enough, but this is a first.  I guess if you water them too much mushrooms will grow?  At any rate I have not idea what kind they are but you know they did add contrast to the pot and some surprises!

Haiku My Heart

Baseball is a game

It's balls, bats, gloves and practice

It's a boy's passion.

It's not just winning

It's the batting and catching

It's learning the skills

Baseball is a game

It's balls, bats, gloves and practice

It's a boy's PASSION

*******

This Haiku is a tribute to all who love baseball.  It's also a tribute to a  young man and his team who advanced to the semi-finals of the Regionals of the Little League World Series.   They didn't win.  No, but they did show amazing talent.  I know the hours they have practiced and the determination with which they have played the game.  I was even able to watch them play for the first time on national television and was amazed at the poise and maturity they showed.  

Again I applaud the Golfmoor boys, coaches and especially Luke for making my day!!!  You were terrific!!!

The Joy in Tea Talk

I'm having...Vanilla Carmel tea this morning. 

My teacup... is my everyday cup.

I'm feeling... content being who I am.  These moments are true blessing.

On my mind...excitement in anticipation of Marianne and Daniel's visit this weekend.  Coming to visit us allows Dad to concentrate on completing some remodeling at home.  I love remodeling as long as it's not my house that's torn up...Such a mess!   I am grateful for the roses in the garden that can be brought inside to be cherished.

 

Days of wine and roses laugh and run away, like a child at play.

Joy for me today is remembering the visit to the butterfly garden and OH the exultation I felt at the beauty of God creation!  The butterflies were various and abundant!!!  

To share the joy I've  posted a puzzle from my gallery at JigZone.  I hope it offers you enjoyment and a bit of a distraction from today's concerns.

Mosaic Monday~~Summer's Garden

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844

Even with all the heat and humidity this summer gardens seem to have flourished.  And as we enter the final days of summer let's cherish the blossoms, colors and aroma of the glorious work of God's hand.

Eden's garden must surely have been this beautiful.  

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!!!
