It appears that winter might have arrived ahead of schedule this year with the cold temperatures and the remaining snow piles that will undoubtedly be replenished before the end of the year.  With that being said I don’t actually hate winter.  I just wish that when the snow and ice fell it would avoid the sidewalks, driveways and roads.  Is that too much to ask?  I don’t think so.

Today’s teapot was an eBay find from the woman who was selling her mother’s massive teapot collection.  Yes—it was way bigger than mine and I reaped the benefits. This cute little teapot is all blue and sparkly and snowy. Perfect for a winter brew.

It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down

and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.
