With the recent snow and cold weather I am wishing for a bit of spring.  The good news is that the days are getting longer and the temperatures were in the 50’s this weekend.  Our driveway is now snow free and my heart is happy.

This little tea set is one I bought in Raleigh when I visited Aaron several years ago.  I loved the strawberry theme and even bought the cups and cream and sugar set that went with it.

I think you have to agree that this one is super cute and it gives me hope that spring will be coming.   I did see a huge flock of robins in our yard this past weekend as well so there is hope.

Enjoy your day and know that spring is just around the corner.  At least in my mind it is.

“Two things consistently bring me pleasure: hot sweet tea and writing. Which is not to say that either are particularly good for me…I use entirely too much sugar and so far don’t find sucralose to be a good alternative. Also, writing is not a practice that engenders confidence. Quite the opposite. It’s about making yourself deliberately insecure so that you can write the next thing and have it be worth reading.

And that’s not even taking into consideration the business end of things, which can make you bitter if you’re not careful…

But I’ve spent my the bulk of my life to date figuring out the right mix of fat and sugar in my tea and also, how to get incrementally better (I hope…) at the writing, so I’m not giving it/them up!”
