Baseball Nut Green Tea...

It is entirely possible that karma decided a bit of payback was warranted

because I had been blithely flying through the winter

smug in my tea fuelled immune system

laughing in the face of colds and flus

and generally showing a lack of sympathy 

for those struck down by the dreaded lurgy

which, of course, made it inevitable that it would take me down

and take me down it did

we are talking almost man flu proportions here

I spent a few days lying around

having thoughts about buckets and kicking

and cursing the dog for not having opposable thumbs

and therefore not being able to make me tea

and bring me trashy magazines to read

cause nothing makes me feel better 

than stars without makeup

it was touch and go for a day or two there

but I have recovered and am feeling relatively human

and while I haven't quite forgiven the dog

for being such a sucky carer

I am happy to be back painting and playing 

with the Summer of Colour prompt

which was Baseball Nut

not quite sure how baseball fits with vanilla, black raspberries and cashews

but hey not coming from a baseball country

its not my place to question the mysteries of ice cream flavour names

Luckily for me I had recently received yet another shipment from the Republic of Tea

thank you very little Andrea from Falling Ladies for getting me hooked on this place

and one of the teas I ordered was a Black Raspberry Superfruit Tea

which was in a sort of soft green container

which somehow morphed into a bit of a vanilla colour

which I blame entirely on the cold and flu drugs 

which obviously messed with my sense of colour

but it worked out nicely for this week's prompt

and the tea also appears to have restorative powers

so it seems only right that it makes the grade for Baseball Nut

and will from here on be known as Baseball Nut Green Tea...

Can I say a huge thank you to all the people from The Summer of Colour

hosted by Kristin who have been visiting and taking the time to comment

and also say a happy very early Tuesday Tea 

to all my friends at Art in Red Wagons...xx
