Teacup Thursdays: Simple Pleasures

-

Nor rural sights alone, but rural sounds,
Exhilarate the spirit, and restore
The tone of languid nature.
~William Cowper


Oh, the Joys of the Country... it's times like these that I'm so glad that I live in the country. The fall leaves are beautiful! It's so wonderful to wake up to their brillance every morning! Knowing these days of Autumn are numbered, I hope that you all take time to savor these simple joys of Autumn!

    Miss Spenser- I do believe we are on the same wavelength! I just finished typing up my blog and the last thing I typed before popping over here was "Simple pleasures" :) I love your cup!
