Things to do while I’m not feeling well

A cup of tea and tiger lillies

The sun is shining today and it’s time for me to get back outside to the garden for a little while.  I also have plenty to keep me busy around the house.

It’s time for a little blog break.  A few days ought to do it.  We all need a little vacation every now and then.  Even from blogging.

So, take a break.  Have a cup of tea.  Relax.  Step outside and see what’s blooming.  And I’ll see you in a few days.
