I was getting ready to make myself lunch today and looked out the window and thought wow it's dark outside as in it looked like late afternoon. It was only 2pm. I was like it is late fall/early winter or at least what I think of as that, so I didn't think anything more on in. About a half-hour later I heard rumbling thunder. I was like what was that. It was in the distance. I thought maybe it was a loud truck that went by.....

Nope... About 10 minutes after that and closer overhead... bowling sounds. That startled me and then there was the sound of pouring rain. Had to look outside again and when I did I saw a flash of lighting.

The rain has calmed and no more thunder. I hate thunder storms!! 

I had just started playing with the Seasons pack enabled. As I actually had missed having that pack enabled. If I remember correctly I have it set to 12 days for Summer, 6 days for Fall, 7 for Winter and 8 days for Spring.  I absolutely -love- the Spring festival.. Trying to collect the eggs!!

When I've played in Sunlit Tides or Monte Vista I go into the game options and untick all the seasons except Summer.

What a beautiful tea pot!! I miss mine -so- much. I found one at a local store and a few months later it broke. I haven't been able to find another like it since.

My neighbor apparently has a collection of teapots in a cabinet built especially for them. I haven't seen them yet.

Oh wow!! That's cool I only have a few tea pots. They are mostly the kind that are to be put up and looked at. Ever since I broke the one, I'm leery of using any of the more decorative ones I have. One I got from my mom that has a wooden handle of some sort.

I had a sterling silver one that belonged to my grandmother. I have no idea where it is and I forgot about it until just now. It's either in storage or among the stuff that seems to disappear after each move.

I have a glass one that I use when I'm making tea for more than just me. I also have a little "Brown Betty". It's a one cupper so if I'm making just a cup for myself, I just use a mug. So now it just sits on my counter and looks cute.

That's a pretty tea pot!!

I just looked on Amazon to see if I could find any like the brown one you just shared and found a couple of them.  While I like the more dainty ones. They are a little intimidating to me as well. As they look really fragile. The others like your brown one don't look as fragile.

That picture came off the internet but mine is exactly the same...except older. No idea where it came from or how long I've had it. Maybe the teapot gremlins snuck in and swapped it for the sterling silver one. :D

Ah okay. lol

I do remember when I had one like that I could only get a cup or two of tea out of it because I too used a mug to have tea in.

Checking in :)

Still kind of stuck in my game. So I started a new save to see if I ended up missing something along the way. Trying to figure out when the painter is to arrive in-game. There's not much about that part.

We have a feeling the last patch or two may have changed things up a bit. There's not too many new videos or information since the newest patch that came out late October.
