Monday TeaTime




Awe, another Monday!
This month is going by fast. I am usually up early every morning, no matter what day it is!
Got my laundry going early so I could enjoy the day.  Stopped to have a break with a cup of tea and an orange roll.



I have come to love the taste of orange lately.
I take honey in my tea. This morning I am enjoying Twinings English Breakfast tea.


Using my Moss Rose serving tray and cup, makes it a little more inviting. I hope to plant more of this pretty rose here at my new home.
I had company over the weekend, family and friends coming to see where I've moved and see the new place.

Two of my son-in-laws and two of my grandsons came and built hand rails for the front porch and down the slope at the back door. They don't want us falling, so they said. It is a great help and they did a great job, even put solar lights on this one.


The slope is slight in the back, but in our 'olden age' we aren't as stable as we use to be.


I am excited about working in this area this Spring, bringing it alive with pretty flowers. I want to rework the pavers also. Can you see the little white daffodil blooming?


Hopefully I can paint the porch too! Sure needs it.



Have a Blessed Day!

No Place Like Home





Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like Home!

 internet poem

As you may know we have a new place that we call
"Home".
Christmas week is not a good time to move!
Enough said!

  
Milo doesn't care, he calls Home anywhere there's a chair where he can sleep!

  
Our new home was built in 1929, but has been updated, leaving all the character.  I love all the wide molding.


 Although the fireplace no longer works, it is still special with the mantel and large molding.

















 I still have a lot of tweaking to do, but if you have ever moved you'll understand.


  

I've always loved the saying
 "Home is where the Heart is" 
no matter where that may be.

Until next we meet,
Have a Blessed Home!
Sylvia
