Greetings,
I hope all is well with you at home and that you have great plans for improvement.
I managed to tidy up one corner of the Manse after busy family activities:
I have kept a few of my children's toys out just because they add a nice element to the general good feeling here at The Manse.
You can see how the wheat is doing.
This set of Miss Reed books is on Pinterest and has such pleasant covers.
Below is the blue tea I described in the video. This one is packed in Idaho:
This meme explains a lot:
An old friend created AI pictures of The Manse, showing how it could be, and I do like it so much!
The only thing I would add is more leafy trees showing the foliage behind the house.
Please enjoy your work while you listen today:

You’re looking lovely, Lydia. If I could, I’d hop on a plane and come for tea. Thank you for continuing to be a blessing. 🫶
Same to you, Joy!
Woohoo , a new video from Lydia! I love your visits so much , they are balm.
At least it’s a balm. I felt like it was a bomb but I had spent too much time posting it to delete and start over ☺️
Yay! Oh my goodness! It is so good to see you again! I was just about to email you when I discover this. I feel like it’s Christmas morning…
I can’t wait to listen!!!
Thank you so much for posting again!

Everything you do has the spirit of excellence upon it! Really AI has nothing on your home- making abilities! Love ya sweet friend!! Blessings, Roxy xoxo
So glad to see you again! Definitely a balm, not a bomb! It was like visiting with a long time friend! Thank you so much for your time and the wonderful conversation! God bless you❣️
Thank you for your latest video and for sharing the poem. I was able to look it up in my Edgar Guest anthology. It reminded me of a sweet mature friend. The poem is encouraging and I take it as a goal. As I sprout more gray hairs, I hope I can be like this lady with the lovely smile.
Warmly, Virginia
Dear Lydia, I was so happy to see you had a new video. Thank you for it. I was going to listen to it while I made strawberry jam--but as it turned out, the strawberries were starting to turn bad, so I didn't have enough to make jam. I ended up putting the bits that were still good in the blender, and making fruit leather. Fruit leather is very easy to make and my husband loves it--I can't believe I've gone my whole life without making it (last year was the first time). We have lots of strawberries to use up, as my husband grows them in his garden, and he is very ambitious with how many plants he puts in!
I enjoyed this talk, especially when you said (as you have said before) people today are poetry deficient. I whole-heartedly agree. Modern people are deficient of every kind of beauty. Modern life is, in many ways, ugly and hopeless. No wonder everybody has raised cortisol. I saw a quote on Facebook the other day, it said "For people addicted to self-help books, I prescribe that you read one poem every day and recite it until you have it memorized. People need an infusion of beauty, not more neurosis."
Lastly, that blue tea is wild! It's so blue. I wanted to try it, but on the Canadian Amazon they only have boxes of 100 tea bags, which is too expensive. It sounds good though, I will keep my eyes open in stores.
I just love the way you talk from your heart, Lydia. So natural. All your topics are interesting and are either something to learn from or to find relief from in how we can identify. Much love to you from Pennsylvania. 🩷
I wanted to add a thought to your good advice about learning to breathe through our noses, not mouth breathing. It is also very important to keep our tongues at the roof of our mouths, not to allow it to slip forward towards our front teeth. Many dentists fail to inform people of this. If we allow our tongues to slide forward, we develop a tongue thrust habit and this changes the shape of our mouths over time , especially when young, and it also weakens the muscles in our throat and neck and actually misaligns our general posture. Your advice about avoiding mouth breathing was so good! I think even when we do strenuous work or exercise, it is good to breath through our noses if possible. Thank you for all that info!
