I’m Dreaming of Spring

The winds are howling across the pond and snow is coming down in big flakes, but the fireplace is keeping me toasty warm. Our dogs are snoozing at my feet as I sip delicious tea from my favorite rose chintz teacup and dream. The mail man’s delivery has become the favorite part of my day…
