Two For Tea

Snowbound.

Knee deep, glacier-blue, and quiet. No electricity, no internet, no running water for four days.

I have an invitation to tea at Leonna's house. I put on a sweater, a down vest, a down coat, and two layers of thermal leggings to walk up the hill. 

Inside the cozy kitchen, the windows are almost blocked by the snow outside:

...but Leonna has created a fairy tale of colors and history that glows even in the failing light.

There is steaming hot ginger tea and.... delight of delights... strawberries!

Outside, the sky is violet, and then steel-blue. We light candles, and play pretend. I am a gypsy, full of fortunes and spells.

Leonna transforms into a young man in a magical Venice of long ago.

So this is what happens when humans are left to their own devices (instead of their electronic devices).... I like it.

I am also a visitor of Leonna's magical mystery tour! Your photos of her place are the emotional images dear to my Soul from her angelic beingness. I love to visit her Queendom! JD
