A Cup of Tea
When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its' fragrance,
There is solace in its' taste;
And then laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.
And the world becomes a lovely thing!
There's beauty as you'll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea.
(J. Jonker, Amsterdam, c.1670)
Are you enjoying this mild winter?
Warm and cozy...
inside your little cottage?
Dreaming of spring ...
and what seeds to order?

Maybe you are scanning cook books...
Dreaming about cakes and petifores
Maybe you're just bored and
need to visit with a friend....

Maybe some tea
and scones is
what you need....

A cucumber sandwich would
be a delight indeed....

Would you like to come
over and have tea
with me?

This is such a charming post. The poem and images warm the heart on this cold Michigan evening. I spent my day quilting while waiting for Spring.
