There's a promise here that Spring is on the way.
They are small, but the Gerbera daisies in Musashi's Garden are blooming!
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
Thank you to Karen for hosting Sun Lit Sunday.

I am excited about...
being asked to taste test some teas from Tea Vivre.
I love Chinese teas and tea ware.
It will be fun to research and taste!

A favorite quote for today...
It's from the Walt Whitman poem O ME! O LIFE!
"...The question, O me! so sad, recurring - What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here - that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse."
It may sound familiar especially if you have seen the Apple commercials.

One of my favorite things...
This is a Miltonia Orchid, sometimes called a pansy orchid.
When I brought her home from Trader Joe's she had one flower spike opened.
She now has two more spikes open and 2 more coming.
She is quite impressive and fragrant!

Mug of The Month
A new month and a new Mug.
Spring is going to arrive on March 20 so I decided the tulip mug was in order.

I'm drinking an orange spice black tea from Stash with a teaspoon of honey.
Another Emma Bridgewater mug.
The bottom of the cup suggests you can never have too many tulips.
Plant hundreds!
The rabbits are slowly making an appearance around the house.
Wishing YOU well, much joy and a wonderful cup of tea!
I'm joining a few tea parties and thank the hosts of:

Potpourri
On this last day in February
I decided to go to my box of kisses to pick out a vintage postcard.

I laugh every time I see this postcard.

Mwah!

Outside my window...
It is cloudy today.
The last week has seen summer, winter and spring.
I'm not fond of guessing which season will appear each day
and would really like to enjoy a little spring before the dog days of summer arrive!

I am thankful...
for the nice soaking rain we got this week.
We need the rain. It's so easy to drop back into drought.

One of my favorite things...
Is Terri Windling's beautiful blog.
Her name may be familiar to those of you who read fantasy.
Terri is a writer, artist, and book editor interested in myth, folklore, fairy tales, and the ways they are used in contemporary arts.
Myth and Moor is a daily journal for musings about art, myth, books, village life, and the world-wide community of folks who create and love Mythic Arts.
Full of beautiful words, beautiful art -- I could spend days there.

Pretty In Red!
For the last tea day in February,
I've pulled out an old favorite, some red transferware.
My Granny called these luncheon plates.
Victorian Trading Company calls them tea and scone sets.
Tea and toast sounds good to me!
Is Spring around the corner?
I hope so!
The Huffington Post shared an article from the Elephant Journal on Tea and Ritual
that you might be interested in reading.
I'm joining some tea parties today:
Wishing you well, much joy and a lovely cup of tea!
