Mrs. Teabody Goes to Work

Good Morning, Gentle Reader! Perhaps you have been awake long enough to have a wander outside and  have a look to the heavens quite spectacular with stars?  A beautiful sight, indeed. As Mrs. Teabody stepped outside the front door of Chez Teabody, she saw the Big Dipper directly over her head, the bottom of the dipper almost parallel with the doorway. Some comfort in this and in the slightly cooler temperature. Some. Mrs. Teabody genuinely misses a traditional spring and frets about it. That said, the new purple, magenta and white tulips dotting the rose border along with the lettucy leaves of six coral bells and the Japanese maple showing off her fine new set of leaves are all sights to warm anybody's heart this morning-- Mrs. Teabody's included.

Here are examples of Creme Brulee
And Key Lime Pie

This combination of colors makes for a really pretty statement in the garden so do keep a look our for them, Gentle Reader.

Today, Mrs. Teabody will be going to work. She will go to her charming little gifts and tea shop, Tickle Your Fancy, where she will brew up some fabulous teas, organize and clean shelves and, hopefully, engage in commerce. This -- going outside the confines of one's home-- is what Mrs. Teabody means when she says she is going to work. Apparently, based on the following statement, it is what Mr. Mitt Romney means as well:

"While I was [Massachusetts] governor, 85 percent of the people on a form of welfare assistance in my state had no work requirement. And I wanted to increase the work requirement. I said, for instance, that even if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, well that’s heartless. And I said no, no, I’m willing to spend more giving day care to allow those parents to go back to work. It will cost the state more, providing that day care. But I want the individuals to have the dignity of work."


Mr. Mitt Romney wants individuals to have the dignity of work. Thanks, Mr. Romney. Now does Mrs. Teabody think  Mr. Romney is unaware of the fact that she also works at home? No. Does Mr. Romney believe that he can say such things and be terribly offended when someone else says the same thing? Mrs. Teabody is trying to get her brain around the idea.  Mrs. Teabody so wishes everyone would stop doing such foolish things, engaging in such distracting behavior.


It is April. Mrs. Teabody longs for a gentle garden-soaking rain and temperatures in the 60-70 degree range, and she wishes people-- particularly people who hope to lead this country - - would just start acting a little bit more like adults.







Ta for now!
