Simple Things

Another rambly little post from me, for no reason at all. Not that I need a reason to blog.

I made my first Fall bowl of oatmeal this week . And it tasted so yummy, with milk, raisins and maple syrup. Which reminds me, my mom used to cook oatmeal in milk, not water.  Made it very soft and creamy. I haven’t done that in ages!

I used this little Dutch teapot and cup combo which my sister gave me for my birthday. I don’t often actually make tea in a teapot, but I do think it’s a much more enjoyable way to savor tea. Coffee belongs in mugs, but tea belongs in cups.

And finally, my dear son gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday, and I finally decided on a few books I’ve had on my wish list. When I see an Amazon parcel at my front door, I know the day will have some shine to it, no matter the weather!
