Tea Cups in the Garden

• Jan. 23, 2008 - Time to Enjoy some of my Christmas Presents

Posted in Family

I have been sooooo busy!  I have completed 2 Elizabethan costumes!  Now I have to start the Musketeer costume.  I am so wiped out I cannot think about that. I think I'll be like Scarlett O'Hara and think about that tomorrow! ;)  Meanwhile I decided tonight would be a perfect time to take advantage of some gifts my husband gave to me for Christmas. 

I was too tired to put this together myself. In fact, I haven't even taken advantage of this yet.  Everytime I think about it, I am too tired to set it up.  Then I resort to just a bubble bath or shower.  When dh noticed my fatigue, he helped me set everything up!

He got a bottle of coconut lime verbena bubble bath from Bath and Body Works...my favorite!  He got the tray for me.  And he got a box of my favorite truffles from Godiva!  All variations of dark chocolate!  (Actually, those were gone by now.  He gave me a dark chocolate hershey kiss tonight!)  He got some ice water for me to drink.  He lit my candle.  And he set this up! 

After he brought his laptop in, he inserted the DVD he gave to me.  He knows how much I love the mountains of Colorado.  So this is supposed to be a mood DVD of the Rocky Mountains that plays music while showing scenery. (We listened to this while playing games on New Years.  It really got on his nerves!  LOL  It wasn't what he thought it was!  The music sort of grates on you after a bit.  And that's the only picture that is shown.  We think it is a tropical setting in a studio.  So much for the Rocky Mountains!  LOL  But wasn't it a lovely thought?  Actually I was afraid he wouldn't take me back to the Rockies if this DVD was too good!  ;) Anyway, after the pictures, he took out the DVD, put it away, and took the laptop back to the bedroom to get to work!  LOL 

Well, it's time for me to soak and relax in peace and quiet while I savor a good devotional book on gardens.  Ahhhhhh.......

Very cool! I'm showing this post to Big D because I totally want one of those shelf thingies. I love a good soak once in a while. One day I may send you one of these homemade bath balls that I buy sometimes from this little shop in a neighboring town. They are divine!

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
