A stronger person would take her tea cup out to the porch and brave the wind, the snow, the cold. That is not me. I am longing for warm weather. I mean really getting antsy! I suspect I am not alone so this first tea of February 2021 is just a vision. Comfy well used and frequently washed quilts cushioning the chair, just picked fragrant peony and roses, and a beautiful Rose china pot and delicate little cup.
