A Cup of Tea and Thee, Dear Novel!!!

I ran across this photo on Face Book posted by
The Queen's English
"Tea pot is on, the cups are waiting,
Favourite chairs anticipating,
No matter what I have to do,
My friend(s) there’s always time for you. "

For me, today , my friends are my books... what a delicious day to fall into a great book!!!!!And I was already inspired to prepare a lovely October tea for us!!!

I would have really enjoying curling up for tea beside a roaring fire, but alas, that wasn't to be!!!
Yesterday in celebration of Hub's birthday I mixed up the  delightfully easy muffins using only   a spice cake mix and a small can of pureed pumpkin..
These are  scrumptious with a cup of pumpkin Spice tea....by Bigelow.  Today I enjoyed it in  one of my favorite mugs..  this one picked up  at one of  most memorable  B and B's,, The Bufflehead Cove Inn in Kennebunk , Me!


Soon, I was kicking back with  my  muffins and tea to read  a great book,  I've been trying to  spend time with  this month.. so many interruptions!!!  None today!!!!

 I'm in the midst of reading  Debbie Macomber's  Rose Harbor series!!!  Real page turners!

 To make these muffins a bit more special I mixed up a  tad of  powdered sugar, cinnamon, and  a few drops of water  to  create a simple spicy glaze..
