September Teatime In The Cottage

~ Autumn, Fall, Food & Entertaining, Tea On Tuesdays, Teatimes

Happy Tuesday dear friends. It seems we just said hello to September and now it is half over. Fall officially begins one week from today!

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(ESV‬)

It is the third Tuesday of the month and time to celebrate tea. I brought teatime inside the Sunshine Cottage, the garden is on its last leg and the heat and humidity have stolen my energy!READ MORE

“The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭50‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A few clouds gathered and we managed about one eighth inch of rain later in the day on Friday. We were thankful for the small amount, some places received more. It’s simply September and that is how it normally goes. October is often our driest month but we think October days are the best! We probably all have a favorite, but regardless, they all pass too quickly! September is already almost 2 weeks old!READ MORE

Hello friends. I hope you are still enjoying a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Do you plan to rest today or is it work as usual? I will be doing my best to talk RM into a day of rest. I will let you know how that goes.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25‬:‭11‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

“I urge the leaves to retain their composure; don’t give in to outside influences. I encourage the blossoms to continue their display; keep the vibrant colors regardless of shorter days. I challenge the fields to grow and stay green; resist the forces that imply it is time to quit. This is my calling and my message to these and others year after year. But they never listen. I don’t think they ever will. I am September!”
