To celebrate a special birthday
we went for a little wander
a wabi sabi wander.
We went here and there,
sniffing out the last of Autumn,
the air was moist with a slight drizzle.
Listening to the soundtrack from Samsara
encapsulated in our own mini movie,
we drove into town for tea.
Beginning with a taste
of black tea infused with rose buds;
we chose Turkish Rize Cay
to accompany a Mezze plate.
Relaxing in a tiny teahouse
with squash colored walls
we felt as if we were
elsewhere...
thank you Sandy for inspiring this wondrous tea wander
xox - eb.
A wander-wonderful day for you
and fotos and inspirations for us.
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful pix of your trek through the "yellow wood."

dearest eb,happy belated birthday to your david. i always love your celebrations! so fun, unconventional, and so, so, special. i remember the chicken tikki masala for thanksgiving dinner- or was it christmas? whatever, i love the equal opportunity culural diversity practiced in your home! it is so my style. but more an inspiration for me too. i sometimes feel i have to "fit" things the right way- because you know, i just don't "fit" easily. anyway, thanks for the inspiration, and thanks for your sweet words for sophia. biglove to you, elsa
