BLESSING SQUARE : 15 - 16

BLESSING SQUARES : 15

TEA

Dear lovely people ,
how are you doing this weekend , i have been too much behind in finishing my sampler i started along with blessing squares , anyways its better to be late then never.
this square i have finished a while ago , sipping tea with my darling momma.
i love tea , who doesn't .
i like my tea to me moderate in sugar , with a  dash of skimmed milk .
its such a heavenly drink , i am not as such addicted to tea but i do take 2 cups of tea a day.and one solid cup of coffee , i like my tea / coffee in nice tall mugs ..............even if i actually fill them half or even lesser .....
i cant imagine to kick start my day without a cup of tea.




from past few weeks i am experimenting with green tea, it is believed to do good for people with high blood   pressure and heart disease,
 and yesss a rich source of antioxidants too , indirectly ,if taken in moderation it can keep our skin glowing .
what are you favourite teas??

NEIGHBOURHOOD




At home , we live in a very friendly and beautiful neighbourhood .
and all our neighbours are aunts and uncles . some of them are like family to us in a way that we share  good and bad both times with love .
its amazing how people form a bond with each other , i guess its the cord of love .
we share meals and special dishes , picles and home grown veggitables with each other.
celebrate festivals together ,
and most of the young men and lad are up and about helping any of the neighboring aunt with a helping hand .
i pray that LOrd bless my neighbours and keep them .
as His word says ; LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.

ohhhh girlies ...... i need a cup of tea  {CHAI - as it is called in India } now .
offff to kitchen

have a happy  and blessed weekend
please share what all you like the most about your neighbourhood , thru a comment or a like to your post , i always love to hear from you , you make my day.
