Got your chocolates?

oh,i have chocolate everyday with tea,i mgetting more and more intoi tea and letting go of coffee.

Tea is good. I am trying to cut back on coffee, but I love it so much. Coffee and chocolate is a good combination and I love mocha.

Many Celtic peoples were part of the early settlers of Appalachian regions. They brought with them their beliefs of the Sidhe (Shee). The Sidhe are the oldest and most distinctive of the faerie folk.

The Tuatha de' Danann (Sidhe) were people just like us. They lived in the gentle sloping hills of Ireland -- not on the hills, but inside the hills.

The Agallamh na Senorach (Colloquy of the Ancients) is filled with reference of the Tuatha de' Danann.

It is believed that other Celtic faerie folk, like the Banshee and many others, are descendants of the Tuatha de' Danann.

Tea is a lovely and relaxing drink. With so many varieties there is always something new to try.

I was never a coffee drinker. Never liked the bitter aftertaste, but yet I enjoy coffee ice cream. A nice drink I like is Kahlua with milk and ice. Go figure. I only had really good coffee twice in my life. Once in high school when the teacher made some in a big stainless steel perculator, and then later as an adult when I had some coffee that was brought back from someone's trip to Aruba. Smooth as silk, it was a joy to drink.

I never had that experience again, even when someone would urge me to try a particular coffee because it was SOOOO good, so I would take a chance and taste it. It never is as good as those two experiences I had with some really tasty coffee.

Now.....a good dark, rich hot chocolate with whipped cream will get me every time......

hot chocolate make my tummy purr !!!

Awwww! Hot chocolate is the best drink ever. I love to put a small scoop of vanilla ice cream in my hot chocolate.

foggies are makin' babies here on the back porch !

day makin' all kinds of ruckus noise !

Oh, My! Won't be long we will have frogs all over the place. I love frogs. Spring must be on its way. I see the rabbits cavorting all over the little mountain behind my home.
