heart of saturday night

It's getting cold here. There is frost and the stove is cranked. Soon there will be snow which I am excited for and also (equally) dreading. Time to get cozy. Time for large cups of hot tea and good books. This morning while the whole house slept  I made a cup of blooming tea. Always a treat to watch the flower unfold in the glass. In the early light the amber tea cast shadows across my book. Too pretty.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate.
