Patriot Day

 

Usa, Ground Zero, United States

 "Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew." -- President George W. Bush

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  John 15:13

What is it?

 

When I was young,, I loved to look at the clouds and see different shapes form. Driving home the other day I noticed this cloud. Is it a pig or a dog? What is your guess?

Welcome Autumn

The colors of Autumn are always so warm and inviting.






Autumn's Delight teacup by Johnson Brothers

I also made Pomegranate Iced Tea, as we are still enjoying warm weather here in the south.

 Pomegranates, pears and apples grace the centerpiece.

 The cake plate was painted by my late mother in law.



I hope you will join me in Welcoming Autumn.

A Proper Tea

 "Perhaps you would like some tea, as soon as it can be got." They both declared they should prefer it to anything." – Mansfield Park by Jane Austen


A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards. ~A.A. Milne

Tea should be taken in solitude. ~C.S. Lewis

Tea is a cup of life. ~Author Unknown

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. ~C.S. Lewis


I love these quotes. When my granddaughter joined me for tea, I told her all the ways of a Proper Tea.
