Hills fled from our sight; but left his golden load

  8. Egads, that was gorgeous. I'm dying to know what is in the glass with the spoon balanced on top. Can't imagine stirring one's water...

    Do tell!

  9. Much as I love cappuccino, there is nothing like a good cup of tea to make the morning glorious.

  11. Thank you all for your kind comments,
    they really lit up my evening!

    Marcheline,
    it's tap water,
    pure and simple (pure mountain spring water, that is. In Vienna, coffee is always served with a glass of water).

  12. The Morning Glory tea is the perfect picture of a golden autum day. I love the tree reflection in the tea tray too.
    Peaceful and cozy, that's what this post makes me feel.
