"If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you."

Today my husband and I went antiquing again. This time I found a wonderful Chinese Tea Pot with four cups. I love tea pots and tea of mostly any type. I have several tea pots, the most unusual is one that is in the shape of a dragon with a turtle on it's back. It is called "Mother and Child", and has been one of my favorites. My new one is lovely too.
I shall have to brew some tea in it. If you get a chance come on by for a spot of tea.

Gardening in the south is a mystery to me, though my little bro farms in Mississippi...

We also have a ridiculous number of tea pots. My favorite is a black WWII pot with enameling (dots in golden arabesques) and a war slogan.
