It's very cold here and I'm just enjoying a nice cup of tea ...
This is for my dear friend  [livejournal.com profile] annwyn55  ... just because.

Title: Tea time
Pairing: Frodo (Bilbo/Sam implied)
Rating: none

I remember the first time when I came here …

Bilbo always enjoyed having tea with me.

While we were sipping tea,

eating fresh made butter toast with honey

he always told me stories from his childhood.

It always felt very comfortable, leaning against Bilbo,

my feet on his knees,

hands around a hot steaming pot…

surrounded by  this magical fragrance …

peppermint, cinnamon and

sometimes something sweeter and stronger -

until now I don’t know what this is.

Whenever I ask Bilbo for it he just smiles

“good secrets are a wonderful gift”

And leaves me all the more curious.

 

And now it’s tea time …

for me…

for Bilbo

and for my Sam.

 

Maybe he’ll share his “tea secret” with us …

Today…



Now I'll have to run for another cup of tea... Hmmm... what's left here in the cupboard...
cinnamon tea is out, lemon ... vanilla...orange ... peppermint...
yes, peppermint with honey.

Enjoy your tea-time friends!

Thanks for the lovely cup of tea!

I enjoyed Frodo's bliss in being with Bilbo and Sam, savoring his tea and wondering about the "secret." So nice.

I'm wondering about the secret, too :-)
Maybe Shirebound's bunnies will hobble along *giggles*

I just brewed fresh cherry tea, here, my dear... and *cheers*

I love tea, actually there are 23 different tastes waiting for me - I think I'll be done with them next weekend.
I'm glad you like the poem.
So come over , cherry tea is ready. Here my dear and *cheers to you and aprilkat*

Awww, you should see ME smiling now :-)
Mmmmm.... I'm out of lemon tea at the moment, so would cherry tea do it for you?
Fresh brewed with a bit brown sugar ... just lovely and very warming (though ... looking at your icon it should put ice into my tea).
*leans on you ... cheers, sunshine*

My cousin makes a beautiful apple raspberry tea with honey that is wonderful.

I love tea, too -- I think my favorites are lemon and mint, or maybe orange. Oh, mostly I just like it all!
