February Song

Where has that old friend gone

Lost in a February song

Tell him it won't be long

Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes

Winter finally came back to my little corner of the world. We had one snow storm way-back-when and that was all the skies graced us with  for a long time. The weather was warm and rather spring-like through half of December and all of January. That is completely weird for this area. I was rather delighted when the weather decided to remind us that it is winter and not to forget what shovels are used for. 

Where is that simple day

Before colors broke into shades

And how did I ever fade

Into this life, into this life

I decided, even though it's pretty dang cold out side, to take a walk down to the lake and get some fresh air. It was totally worth it. 

And I never want to let you down

Forgive me if I slip away

When all that I've known is lost and found

I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

It was the sort of walk where everything is wild and beautiful. Where every snow-laden tree and wave on the water yells to the sky, "Who is the Great God like our God?" The sort of day that makes you wonder how anyone can take a look around them and still not believe in God.  

Morning is waking up

And sometimes it's more than just enough

When all that you need to love

Is in front of your eyes

It's in front of your eyes

And I never want to let you down

Forgive me if I slip away

Sometimes it's hard to find the ground

Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away

From this crazy world

I was planning on doing a different song today. But this song was perfect for my mood and for these pictures, (I think so, anyway. :) so I'll do that other song later. 

I'm not great at taking selfies. I was much happier than I look in this picture, I promise you.

Where has that old friend gone

Lost in a February song

Tell him it won't be long

Til he opens his eyes

Opens his eyes

This music video is so beautiful. You should totally press play!

Other thank taking a walk and doing some cleaning, today is a 'tea and a book' day. I'm re-reading the Attolia series and I love them just as much this time as I did the first time. I can't wait until the author comes out with the next book. 

Tea and pumpkin bread. I'd give you the recipe I used, but the loaf turn out a little...odd, so I think I'll just keep the recipe to myself. *Grin*

The tea almost looks more like a latte in this picture...but it's tea. British-style tea. I can give you the 'recipe' for that, if you'd like. 

You need a black tea. I recommend Tetley Tea. 

A teaspoon-ish of sugar or honey.

About 2-3 tablespoons of milk.

Put the milk and sugar/honey in the bottom of a cup with a tea bag. Boil water. Fill your cup with boiled water. Let the tea steep until it's as dark as you like. Remove tea bag. :)

 Now that is the type of tea you'll get in Britain. Seriously, if you order tea in the UK, that's what you'll most likely be served. And it is delicious. *Smile*

Until next time, my wonderful people!

God Bless,
