A Cheerful Tea

Hello everyone,

There is something about the cheerfulness

of yellow that I particularly enjoy in early

   spring . So, today it is a bright and cheerful

casual tea for me.

I have a small collection of enamelware in

various colors but today I am using my

butter yellow teapot and mug. 

     Love my cheerful daffodils!

A bright and cheerful bark cloth tablecloth

makes a pretty backdrop.

   And of course, flowers always

add lots of cheer.

                                           I hope you enjoy a bright and cheerful tea
                                                     break at some point in your day today!

                                                                         Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                          Carolyn

In the Garden

               Hello everyone,

       We have been busy in the garden lately

but always enjoy the beauty of my

   surroundings and all the activity and

         song from the many birds in our garden.

It is such a beautiful time of

the year !

                                                                               

  I love peony tulips as they make quite

a statement in the spring garden.

     Our Boathouse in the background.

The forget me nots are filling in

the space between the daffodils

and tulips.

We had a lot of drizzle yesterday

but in the evening the sun popped

out for a bit as well giving us a

beautiful rainbow.

          The garden is filling in nicely and

              we have spread  compost over many

of the beds.

Fritillaria Meleagris or

Snakehead Fritillary makes

    a nice statement in the garden.

It is still early days in our garden but

soon it will be lilac season here.

                                                      It is a beautiful sunny day here today
                                                                 so you will find me in the garden!

                                                                                Enjoy your day!

                                                                                            Carolyn
                                                               

Spring in the Boathouse Conservatory

After a couple of beautiful summery days

we went back to a cold windy spring day

here todaybut no matter because it was

   lovely here in the Boathouse conservatory.

The Conservatory is facing south

           and at the back of our little Boathouse.

It is a good place to enjoy tea

and some journal writing.

Violas in a basket.

This coming week I will start hardening

these plants off so they can stay outdoors

soon but for now I am enjoying them here.

                                                                         

I hope you enjoyed visiting in the  conservatory

today. I am amazed how how the garden popped

this week so I will have to take you on a little

garden tour soon. 

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend

and thank you for visiting me!
