Chamomile Sunset

What could be nicer than a warm cup of chamomile, a good book and a blank journal? How about if we step outside and sit on the patio while we enjoy the sunset?

I took a Hazelnut Cream candle outdoors with me for ambiance and aroma. It smells of vanilla and brown sugar.

 I listened to birds wishing the day adieu, and watched as the last of the sun rays gilded the hilltops.

Being such a kid at heart I adore graham crackers. But these are not just any old grahams, these are my favorite from Trader Joes. I could eat a dozen! And what do you suppose is in the little dish next to them? Those are Spiced Chocolate Pecans that a friend sent to me. 

 
 The cup I used this evening is the Queen's Bird by Spode. I think it is perfect for a sunset cuppa~

 This cup has rich jewel tones and a sweet image just inside the rim.

The handle reminds me of an elf's ear, or perhaps that of the fairies that frequent the garden.

I am on chapter thirty of The Count Of Monte Cristo and the story is more exciting than ever. I can just finish reading one chapter, and do a bit of journaling, before the light gets too dim to continue.

But that suits the night blooming flowers just fine. The Four O' Clocks have not blossomed yet, but I spy tiny lilac colored flowers that are happy to greet the twilight.

Happy 'Tea Cup Tuesday' wherever you spend it.
