Wise old owl tea


The wise old owl sat on an oak,
the more he saw the less he spoke,
the less he spoke the more he heard,
why aren't we like that wise old bird?

We have a great horned owl who visits our backyard
quite often, and I spied him again this morning.

 Happy Tea on Tuesday everyone!
Since I haven't been able to photograph my local owl
when he visits, I thought I would show you
 my new little snowy owl ornament I bought.
My DH and I will be putting up the tree tonight,
and he will be this years addition.
Isn't he cute!!!

 I'm having Egyptian Mint green tea today by
Zhena's gypsy tea and I'm enjoying it
in my 'snowman with birds' mug I found last year
(while thrifting of course).

I hope you are having a good day.
We finally got some cooler weather again,
down to the 50's.  But still no rain for us here...
it got close, but never made it this far south.
Glad you stopped in, and to read more tea posts
visit Kimmie at
Kimmie also has lots of great creations in her Etsy shop.

Savor the Day!

PPF Christmas Angel

Happy PPF!
This is my mixed media Christmas angel.
I love doing my angels on hymnal pages,
book pages, or watercolor paper.
I usually add acrylics, and also quotes
that I print out on paper.
I use stencils quite often in the background.
She is a full size watercolor sheet.
I named it,
To Live in this World...

From Mary Olivers quote,
"To live in this world,
you must be able to do three things:
 to love what is mortal
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it
and
when the time comes
 to let it go,
 to let it go."

Savor the Day!
Yvonne
