      December’s poem is by Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson was so clever. She wrote an entire poem about snow without ever mentioning the word “snow.” Grab your cup of tea and enjoy reading this winter poem. (PS. (October and November poems here.)

      It sifts from Leaden Sieves
      By Emily Dickinson

      It sifts from Leaden Sieves –
      It powders all the Wood.
      It fills with Alabaster Wool
      The Wrinkles of the Road –
      It makes an even Face
      Of Mountain, and of Plain –
      Unbroken Forehead from the East
      Unto the East again –
      It reaches to the Fence –
      It wraps it Rail by Rail
      Till it is lost in Fleeces –
      It deals Celestial Vail
      To Stump, and Stack – and Stem –
      A Summer’s empty Room –
      Acres of Joints, where Harvests were,
      Recordless, but for them –
      It Ruffles Wrists of Posts
      As Ankles of a Queen –
      Then stills it’s Artisans – like Ghosts –
      Denying they have been –

      Today’s (tonight’s) Fortnums advent calendar tea is Earl Grey, my second favorite after Countess Grey. ☕️💕 I can’t remember what my tea drinking life was like before Fortnums. #earlgrey #fortnumstea #fortnums
      A first edition of From Russia with Love costs only $6500. I mean, for me that’s pocket change. 🤪🤣I’ve never read Ian Fleming. Have you?
      Here is a better upload of the most fabulous woman ever!
      Today we did something we don’t often do, we left the 🏡 for a meal. I had the lobster 🦞 ravioli and little doughnuts with Nutella. I shared with my husband because I’m nice like that. Then we went to see President Obama’s portrait at the Smithsonian, which I’ve never seen before. It was wonderful. We also paid a visit to my Queen👸🏽 , Michelle Obama’s portrait.
