Blood and Tea
The liquor brewed up a deep red. I love the color. Red has always been my favorite, and to combine it with black tea? Delicious. As I smell the leaves in my diffuser, I catch the notes of dark earth and smoke, so similar but so different from the scents wafting up from the riverside. “What is this?” I ask my beloved.

Haint Blue
Pawley’s Island in the off-season was unexpectedly gloomy. When Danielle had booked her vacation, she’d been guided by the lure of photos of vacation homes combined with a price that seemed too good to be true. Turns out, she should have paid attention to the “too good to be true” part. Instead of the sunny vistas shown in the photos on the website, the ocean and sky were slate grey. The South Carolina coast in the depths of winter was not a paradise. The water was cold, the air had more chill than she had hoped, but the locals were nice. Her cottage by the ocean also lived up to the interior shots, and she loved the cute sky blue accents it had around the door jambs and windows.
