A brand new year and already minutiae!

I'm already thinking of Spring, hard not too when it's near 80 degrees and sunny as can be. The lawn is getting green patches. As big a fan as I am of the ice and sleet day...the hens and vegetation seem to be having too much fun right now, so I feel too mean wishing for any this January.

I have always wanted a cute teapot. I drink gallons of hot tea. The ginger tea at Titaya's (That stuff was potent and so delish.) is what made me finally order a teapot of my very own.




A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-savoring each and every delicious page. I may have to take the train over there just as soon as I finish the book. Just to walk by those same streets. My favorite part so far is page 16.

I really don't want to return to the daily grind but at the same time, it would be a relief to return to the daily grind. Still, I need someone to hold my hand because the holiday has been long and I've forgotten logins and passwords. What is nice is the streets still look a bit empty.
