Hello everyone,
I hope you had a good weekend.
We are happy to have our covid 19
restrictions relaxed a little bit here
so we can have outdoor visits with
up to five people while keeping
six feet apart. So we had some
family visits in person for the first
time in weeks. yea!!!
The above bouquet was my first
garden of the season and I am happy
to have some colorful blooms in the
garden again.
We were able to do a lot of gardening
this past week and it is a joy to be
outdoors again with visions of all
the beauty to come.
Since I was working in the garden all
work I didn't have time to take any new
photo so I hope you don't mind some
repeats.
when it was first built .

share with you soon as the Island
as well as our garden turns lush
and green once again.
Please take good care,
Carolyn

These are beautiful Carolyn and I don't ever mind seeing a repeat picture! Those cupcakes are darling. The first thing I'm going to do when our restrictions are lifted is have a wonderful tea party! Here's a recipe from authoress Susan Branch on Martha's Vineyard, MA. I just made these and they are fabulous!
Lavender Tea Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
Ingredients:
1 Cup of unsalted butter
2/3 C minus 1 T superfine sugar (recipe was adapted from an English recipe)
1 egg beaten
1 ¼ Cups minus 1 T self-rising flour
1 T lavender buds (culinary grade only)
Cream butter and sugar together, add the egg and beat well. Stir in flour and flower buds. Drop teaspoon full onto the parchment paper, spacing widely to allow for spread. Bake 15-20 minutes until pale golden and edges turn brown. They will be very soft until cooled. Store in an airtight container. Makes 30 tea cookies. Enjoy! Happy Days ahead!
