- microwave running ~ boiling water for a second cuppa tea …
- thinking maybe I will ask Santa to bring me an electric tea kettle – hmmm …
- sweater blanket around my shoulders to keep me warm – it’s kinda cold this morning …
- blue sky dotted with white clouds, some tinged with pink, here n there …
- I stop to breathe for 5 minutes and …
- hear the distant sound of a train’s whistle.
My tea’s steeped and soon I will end MSQT to fix a salad. Today is my quilt group’s annual holiday luncheon. The salad is simple, tasty and colorfully Christmasy . Here’s the recipe:

I diced some of the red pepper and used the slices as garnishment.
Hope you’ve had a quiet start to your Monday too. Have a grand day!
Cheers~
