A Simple Pleasure

We're still Here.

Quietly settling into January.

Enjoying our days.

Missing our Girl

(But she is ecstatic!)

Simple Pleasures

Are all we sometimes need

to make a Day feel Special.

Especially if we take time to reflect on them.

Here's One.

See for Yourself.

PJ

(Jake and Fergi's Rescue Angel)

Sent this Curious Box home with them

After their holiday stay.

A Christmas Gift.

And so much more.

Hmmm.

The canister says it's Primula Tea.

My moma

(It still seems strange to call her that.

I'm certainly older than she, you know.)

She got out the glass French press coffee jar.

I was dubious.

That contraption is for coffee.

Not tea.

I've learned that since making this my home.

Our Girl gently dropped in a pellet.

(We'll not mention what it reminded me of.)

PLOP

(Rather benign. Don't you agree?)

And she carefully poured in boiling water.

Ahhhhh

The rising steam.

(I moved closer)

It was Warm

Fragrant

Pleasant

So Cool

and

Sweet

(Oh My.  I'm starting to sound like an American teen)

I quietly watched.

Transfixed.

Watching a transformation.

Here is the Product

Close up

I peered in

And waited

As the tea steeped

A lovely flower

opening in the midst of January

Just as the canister illustrated

Producing

 a lovely afternoon tea

That soothed the Spirit

and awakened the Senses.

Life can be so Sweet

and so Easy.

If we just take the Time.

We did.

This Day.

It was Delightful.
