"Conversation at tea time should be tranquil . . . a time to rest the spirit, remember pleasant things.” (Gladys Taber, Stillmeadow Daybook.) Here at Idlewild Cottage, my hope is to provide you -- my fellow kindred spirits -- with a quiet space to linger over "pleasant things," throughout each episode. Today’s “pleasant thing,” is the Apple Orchard. We’ll enjoy some book selections, poetry, nature study, a memorable movie scene, a painting, and even a tea blend -- all paying tribute to this idyllic autumn setting.
