What is it about a simple cup of tea that is so satisfying? I don’t need FANCY tea, just a plain black tea with milk. Maybe a bite of buttery toast alongside, but even that I can skip. On a day like today, feeling like 102°, when I would AVOID a hot cup of coffee, I crave the afternoon comfort of tea. Add a seat in the SHADE, ah glorious, and I wouldn’t TRADE the moment for anything. Picture me there if you will, at a table looking out over an open GLADE, steaming mug, milky tea, glass of cold water for contrast, a book open in my hands. Pure happiness, my friend!
