Tea Time Tuesday
The air was chill, and a breeze gently ruffled the aspen leaves to a full shimmer. Suddenly in a seeming moment’s time, fall was upon us. Living in the mountains where snow can be sudden and abrasive to cool and sunny days warned us to enjoy this golden day while we had it. Clay and I both decided that even though it was a full day and we were a little worn out, we needed to take the opportunity one more time to take an early evening walk on our mountain trail. After all, Darcy Dog was practically begging us to go.
Autumn is a time for savoring, for choosing to make a memory. We intentionally take the opportunity to look into the eyes of our beloveds, to make one more sweet memory with a full knowledge that seasons change and that the moment might pass. And so Clay and I drove across the highway and took one more walk in the majestic shadowy sunlight of dusk. The clouds and mountains flourished in a light dance as the sun slipped down the horizon. We were glad we made the choice to savor these moments.
I love autumn and it slips by too quickly for me.
On Tea Time Tuesday today, it is all about autumn: apple cake, pumpkin streusel muffins, homemade bread, an inspiring book that lingers in your heart, charming music, and an invitation to cultivate the heart of home through feasting and community of friends. I would love to hear about some of your favorite fall memories, traditions, and recipes. Breathe in these magical moments that are right in your midst. Happy Tuesday.
