You may know from reading my past posts that I live on the West Coast of Canada. We have had no rain to speak of in almost 3 months and this morning I woke up to a sound, smell and feeling I have so missed. The rain has returned. The leaves on the Japanese Maple are heavy with rain and my outdoor pillows are drenched and I could not be happier.
I honestly feel like I can finally breathe again. What are restorative feeling this summer shower has brought with it. The perfect weather for sipping tea, staying in my pj's and reading. I can not think of a more perfect way to spend this rainy Friday morning, even if it is for just a few minutes before swimming lessons, grocery shopping and life get in the way. Take time to enjoy the magic that today offers even if it is just for a few moments.
Thank you for joining me for a cup of tea this morning and the mystery will be if the mail man makes it through the rain with my much anticipated order...
As with all my posts I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com
We have long spells of drought here in Texas. Having lived in England, I never thought there would come a time when I would rush out on the porch and sit and watch the rain. No rain on our horizon as yet, though. Enjoy it.

I so have it is amazing how much I missed it!
DeleteSo happy that you finally have some rain. I did not hear more about the fire that was raging a few hours from you yesterday, so hopefully, that is under control and the rain will help out.

DeleteI forgot to tell you that I just loved that black tea that you sent me. I made the tea with the vanilla in it and it was really good, but I am still a fan of plain black tea as my favorite. With coffee, I feel the same. Just regular premium coffee (Arabica preferably) and no flavors along with it. Just a "purist" I guess. :) Thank you so much. Our granddaughter, Esme, who is four, loved the silicone tea bag/tea holder, and thought she was a barista for sure. We have had so much fun making tea together using that little pink tea bag infuser. Thank you again. I was so happy to win those items.

I am so happy to hear this! Thank you for letting me know!
DeleteCongratulations on rain. Here in Oregon we haven't had rain either. Hoping for a good rainstorm soon.
