furniture too!
The book is Cold Sassy Tree and I have
read it a couple of times over the years

I saw the movie several years ago too.

Ah yes, it looks like a wonderful way to pass an afternoon, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, this looks so comfortable and romantic, with a book and a cup of tea on a lovely vintage chaise in your beautiful spring garden. Just wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything more charming than an apple tree in blossom? Your setting is just so pretty and reminds me of my grandparents' apple orchards. I always loved to play among the trees, smelling those sweet blossoms. Such lovely memories! I'm ready for the lilacs too. Pity they only last a short time. Thank you for coming to tea and have a lovely evening.
