Winter is hanging around into April, longer and more unpredictable than usual. That means there are still days when it seems like I have a death grip on the steering wheel for hours because of icy roads and rough conditions. Plus, we seem to have Olympic size potholes on our street. Simple errands cause my back muscles to knot. That’s when it’s great to come home to the words, “I put the tea on.”
I think this is one of the most thoughtful things you can do for a person.
Of course, as the dogs can’t be counted on to do that, it can only be the Little Mister. I truly appreciate this when it happens. It’s such a lovely thought and it’s a great way to unwind and share a little break together. I’m hoping to get him trained to set things up like this.
However, he’s a mug kind of guy. What can I say? Sometimes a mug is just what the doctor ordered. I know we all love (and I mean LOVE) teacups here on Teacup Tuesday, but tell the truth, do you sometimes take great pleasure in a very large mug of hot tea? Especially if it’s in front of the fireplace and there’s a dog or two to snuggle up with.
So tell me, does a cup or mug of tea make your day? Would you prefer to substitute cats for dogs? We make our own rules here – let’s hear yours.
