thanks for the warmth! Oh, your chai sounds pretty good to me (I have left a comment on your chai blog). I think you need to just work on it till you get the taste that satisfies you. Tea, like many other things in life, so so, so terribly PERSONAL! Forward to the chai factory....

hi greenfields
That sounds pretty perfect to me and I really like the sound of your breakfast! Warmth seems to be a vital ingredient for my idea of a perfect day: the warmth of sunlight; or the warmth of a home on a cold day and the warmth of others. By the way I recently blogged on my attempts at making chai tea and wonder if you have any advice on how to do it well?

Re: benzinha...thank you my dear...
You do seem very social, Greenfields and that doesn't always leave time for family....and you like your work, too.
I prefer to hide in my house now and just work away, having too much fun at this. My family comes and drags me out places or tells me that I must appear, so I do.
I love my family, just want to be alone for some reason and play at my artwork.

benzinha...thank you my dear...
yes, he was big on family. Funny, if you were to ask if I was, I may not say yes. How about that?

Perfect day? That's easy......it's when my husband and children are all safe and accounted for..........and I can read a few chapters of a good book then float for an hour or so in the pool.......listening to the crickets and birds and wind chimes.......waiting for the next pear to fall from the tree next door and hit the roof of the shed. (Reminds me that summer is almost over.)
That's where I'm heading right now............namaste greenfields. lovely post.

A perfect day is when my kids and grandkids are safe and well
and the morning is cool and sunny, when the squirrels play around the trees in the front yard and the neighbors walk their dogs, when the kids ride their bikes along the sidewalk and make up games to play, when nobody calls me with a sales pitch, no bills come in the mail, and the coffee is mellow.
