Red and White Transferware Tea and the Autumn Garden

                   It has been awhile since I was able

                   to post here but thanks to my son I

                         have got my computer blog problems 

                             fixed and so here I am again. I hope you

         haven't all given up on me!

                                   So, now that summer is over we are back

                               to enjoying our tea in the kitchen with

                                      the stove going to keep us warm and snug.

                                     We have had an amazing fall so far with 

                                                warmer temperatures and beautiful fall foliage 

                                  but there is a chill in the air here today.

                I love this old teapot from an antique

       shop in Maine that was made in

Japan.

There is a comfy seat for each

of us. 

        I made some fresh raisin scones

for tea today. The recipe can be

found here . I just used

unbleached flour here and

raisins.

I added a new soup tureen

to my red and white transferware

collection ~ this one is a lot smaller

than my other one.

  

                                                                          Let go out to the garden and
                                                                          check out the last of the fall
                                                                          color in the garden.

                                                                          A frosty morn around our pond.

I enjoy the late season color of

      aconitum carmichaeli in the garden

and the bees love it too. 

     We are still working on our fall garden

 cleanup and it will be nice to have it

           done so the garden will be ready for winter.

          It will soon be time for us to snuggle in for

the winter too!

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn
