It rained today and was mild for a winter day in Ontario. The squirrels and birds were all a flutter.
Otis watching the squirrels jump from tree to tree.
Buddy watched a Chickadee land.
Chase was eying the mailman. (Eying being the correct spelling but it looks very odd.)
Bud and Chase...the mighty hunters.
and our sun-worshiper, Sierra
She was drinking it up while it lasted.
My little brown tea-pot, which holds two small cups, was a gift from South Korea.
Here's a little tea etiquette... First and foremost never hold your cup with your pinkie finger extended. This is improper and in most social settings is considered rude. You also look silly unless you are a three year old girl. Place your index finger into the handle of the cup up to the knuckle while placing your thumb on the top of the handle to secure the cup. The bottom of the handle should then rest on your third finger. The fourth and fifth fingers should curve back towards your wrist.
So there you have it. Now, go have some tea and hide the pinkie.
hugs, Deb
