Welcome to Spring
As I sit to write this tea article, I am stuck at home in the holler where I live, looking at the three inches of snow on my car, and knowing I will not be able to make it up the hill to get to Historic Rugby today. I was thinking of spring flowers, green grass, and warm weather and then the thought hit me “time for tea.” As I head to the kitchen to put the kettle, what will I have with my tea, I thought. I rooted through the fridge and found ham and cheese. Wonderful a sandwich cut up in fourths will brighten my mood today. Then a sweet. Hmmm, oh I know, the box of Girl Scout cookies in the cupboard. (Thin mints, of course).
So I had a tea party sitting in my favorite chair watching the birds at the feeder and staying warm. Always remember a tea party is only a thought away. It does not have to be grand to make your day. Just a reminder that our “Queen’s Tea” is coming up soon! The Queen’s Tea is scheduled for May 8, 2021. Hope to see everyone there. Stay safe and healthy, & Happy Sipping! — Sue Bell
