A beautiful card from my friend Jo
She is right...there is beauty in everything.
Enjoyed this library book so much, I bought a copy for my bookshelf 
So much inspiration,
Listening for beauty

Some flourishing outgoing 

Blooming in the garden
Nature’s beauty

Enjoying tea and a biscuit 
In the family room

    That is a wonderful card from Jo. The sentiment is really true. Looks like life is good, especially since you have crocuses in bloom. March really hasn't been that bad of a month, at least these last few weeks. I'm going to go check out that book and see more of what's its about. I hope you had a great T day Nan. Hugs-Erika

    Those bunnies are so cute. Crocuses are really beautiful! I just love that they symbolize spring with that splash of bright purple.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

    A beautiful card and a wonderful sentiment. We think it's rabbits that eat our crocus. But right before we left for Sarah's Tracy discovered all our daffodils in the back were blooming. Early spring for us! We took half to Matt, and brought the rest with us.

    What a sweet card from Jo. She is such an adorable person.

    I love your envelopes. You know how to turn a plain envelope into its own gift. Speaking of which, you have a true gift making this art.

    I enjoyed seeing you in your family room watching soccer, enjoying a biscuit (cookie?), and drinking tea. Thanks for sharing these beauties with us for T this week, Nan. I realize I'm late visiting.

    So glad that you liked the card, and the sentiment is so true 😉. I think spring must be finally here, those crocus look so beautiful! We have bluebells just starting to bloom here after the sunny days we've had the past week! Happy belated T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x

 I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts.  I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!

Get Mail, Set Sail...T stands for Tall Ships

The tall ships are in Boston this weekend. They arrived Saturday, and it was foggy.  Luckily, we had been invited to a party on Sunday... on a chartered yacht. I think I missed my calling.. Seas the day! I's a birthday party! Sunday proved to have fantastic weather, with quite a breeze to keep us comfortable. Boston Harbor Wind in our hair This was the perfect occasion to pull out my Lilly Pulitzer you gotta regatta dress! And boy did we regatta! The crew circulated with all sorts of appetizers and I had  a spiked cranberry seltzer... Boston with a twist and a little kick. Here are some of the ships we saw on our voyage Seen in Boston... Fi and me We cruised down as far as Hull and then it was back to City. Boston skyline Zakim Bridge Docked and back on dry land, we will remember our birthday bash on the water for quite a while. Smooth sailing to you.

T stands for Treats and Time

Patriots Day is a holiday here...a funny sort of holiday, because some people have off and others don't. Fortunately for me, Fi had off, so that meant some quality time together. I am a firm believer if there is an opportunity for fun together, you need to go for it and make it special in some small way. We started our day with a trip to Swiss Bakers, whose motto is "our food makes you feel good". No false advertising there, they are right. swiss bakers, store front ham and cheese croissant We were fortunate enough to find Swiss Bakers through a groupon deal a few years ago, and it was a find. It's not a big place, but it has a variety of savory and sweet croissants, freshly baked breads, and rolls.  So that we would make the most of our visit, we grabbed a raspberry almond croissant for that evening. From there it was time to head to the beach. My happy place. A little windy, so we had the whole beach to ourselves...after our visit, we admired ...
