Apple Blossom Tea

Hello everyone,

I hope your June is going well.

June is my favorite month of the

year as the Island looks so lush

green and beautiful!

Also, our garden takes on a

life of it's own with lots

still to look forward to.

It has been quite awhile since I posted

here but there is so much to do

right now that it is hard to find

the time and I confess that the less I

post the less I even think about my

poor little blog.

We have had an unusual spring here as

we had ice in our birdbath a few nights

ago and some of  our trees got hit with

a heavy frost . The buds on my yellowbird

magnolia were froze and that has never

happened to it before. Thankfully,the lilac

buds looked limp but have recovered.

They will soon be blooming and I am

looking forward to big bouquets of

them.

Anyway, it is tea time  and the

apple blossoms are in full bloom

here now so I picked a small

bouquet.

                                                          I see the rain has stopped so my tea time
                                                                     is over as I can get out and enjoy doing
                                                                     some gardening now!

                                                                                    Thank you for stopping by,

                                                                                                     Carolyn

Apple Blossom Tea

                 Hello everyone,

                  On a beautiful late spring day ( a couple of days ago)

              when the old apple tree was in full bloom I thought

                     it would be the perfect time and place for afternoon tea.

                   There is a lovely fragrance from the apple blossoms and

            the tree is all a hum with the buzzing of hundreds of

busy bees doing their work.

         A little filtered shade makes it

        a pleasant place to enjoy tea.

                                                                             The lupins are blooming now
                                                                             so I picked a small bouquet.

                                                                         I love this old tree that was probably
                                                                         planted when our farm house was built
                                                                         100 years ago. Our children loved to
                                                                         climb in it and now our grandchildren.

                                                                        Soft and delicate china.

                                                                       I painted this old table a soft green
                                                                       a few years ago,

                                                                          Blossom Time teacups and a new
                                                                          peony from the garden.

                                                                                  Homemade biscuits with rhubarb
                                                                                  preserves from our rhubarb patch.

                                                                           

                                                         It was such a delightful day to enjoy
                                                                   afternoon tea under the apple blossoms.
