T Stands for Tuesday Tea, sky and art

 Hi Everyone!

Today is T stands for Tuesday and other things over at Bluebeard and Elizabeth's. Stop by to see what all of the T gang are up to.
For me, I spent most of Monday alone. Mr. M. drove over to Salem without me. There was no need to go since I refuse to grocery shop during the holiday season. People are just not safe enough for me and I will not be in any kind of crowd at all. Covid is rising fast in Oregon like it is everyplace else in the US. What a disaster we have here. OK enough of that. I really enjoy being alone. I like being with myself. The morning brought me this pink sky. Funny I painted a pink sky the other day and then it comes to me in real life.
 
These photos are not manipulated at all.
 
The moon was still out


 This is my view from one of my kitchen windows

A few years ago my daughter made this cup for me. 
Well she decorated it with Choose Happy. 
My Son sent me this amazing tea. Teavana 
Spice fruit and and Spicy Orange
They come in these great tin cans.

 
When opened there is another top to keep it all fresh.

and then the goodness.
 
I also played in the art room. I do like gray and yellow.
with a splash of black. Now that I see it online it could be
a dragonfly.

Have a great day everyone 
Be Safe And Wear A Mask

I enjoy being alone sometimes too. Lovely sky photos-what a pretty pink. I love tea tins like that too-I have a couple of those that I bought many many years ago-it does keep the tea fresh.
Happy T wishes Kathy

I love the yellow, and black gray combination, a wonderful piece!

...not at all? I manipulate everything!

Christine said...

Yes, a dragonfly! Beautiful pink sky, wow.

Kate Yetter said...

Lovely art! And your tea looks yummy. I am sad that Teavana closed as I really enjoyed their blends.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

I enjoy being home alone. My husband still goes to work, so I get time during the week and on the weekend, although I like him being home, I also feel like I waste so much time. That's a beautiful painting and I like your mug. The tea sounds wonderful. It's scary now out there for sure. Stay safe and smart and happy T day Nicole.

Beautiful pink skies. I like your painting. The mug and tea look delicious. The covid-19 situation is getting worse here in Connecticut, and Doctors urged our Governor to close restaurants, but he's ignoring them. Happy T-Day!

Loving those pink morning skies and I'd love to try a cup of that orange tea - yum 😀. Your dragonfly art is beautiful too, loving the yellows and greys! Stay safe and Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x

Yes, I am quite happy on my own. In fact, I spend most days on my own when hubby is downstairs working.
I am with you on doing holiday shopping. I hate crowds anyway, and now it is downright dangerous.
Your tea looks and sounds really nice. What a lovely gift.
Your art is great. Yes, it does look like a dragonfly.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca

Beautiful skies, and I love your abstract piece! Those teas sound delicious.
Happy T-Day!

I love being by myself as well. We are in another lockdown so we are avoiding crowds.
I ordered some assorted tea yesterday since the store I had seen some I wanted in is closed as it is deemed non-essential. If the stores open soon I will still buy it.
No holiday shopping going on here.

Nicole, I have NO idea how I missed your name when I was leaving comments last night. I deeply apologize. Those sky shots are amazing. Simply beautiful.

Like you, I am not going shopping, but I will never ask Sally to shop for me again. My friend Scott has a membership in Costco, but I like Sam's French Roast Coffee, their cat food, and their litter. I wonder if I could get the same deal at Costco.

I am ALWAYS alone, Nicole. Some days I love it, and some days I really long for company or companionship. Some days the cats are more than enough and some days they are too much, especially when Squiggles invades Bleubeard's space or vise versa.

I also see two dragonflies and a bee in the lower right corner of your painting.

I love Teavana tea. I bought some in California one year, but your mug is much nicer than ones I own. Thanks for sharing your incredible art, your wonderful sunrises, your tea, and your lovely mug with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.

Boa tarde minha querida amiga. Parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho. Ficou maravilhoso.

Linda Kunsman said...

Yes, the skies are quite amazing and colorful this time of year! Wonderful mug and also like the way the teas are packaged.
I don't mind being alone either, nice to have such quiet as far as I'm concerned. Happy T day!

Amazing skies.

Eileen Bergen said...

Beautiful pink sky photos. The tea tins and pretty mug are lovely. I see two dragonflies there.

You and I are fortunate in these COVID days that we enjoy working out daily. So many people just can't force themselves or are infirm. I hear people are putting on pounds as they stay home less active but eating the same or even more.

Sometimes it's good to be an introvert and enjoy your own company.

Happy T-day! Stay safe and well. Hugs, Eileen
