A Pink Tea Time





Hello everyone,

On this bright and sunny March afternoon
I decided to do a little tea time for you.




The chaise in the corner of our
bedroom is a pretty sunny spot
for tea. 



A shabby chic pillow and a pink chintz  pot full of
tea with  my geraniums blooming nearby
makes for a pleasant afternoon tea.


This teapot came from a little shop
in Maine a few years ago.






Thanks for all your nice comments on my
last post...I enjoyed hearing from you.

I hope you have a  great weekend.

We change our clocks an hour ahead
this weekend......love the longer evenings!

Thanks for visiting,
Carolyn

Our Pond Seasons




Hello everyone,

   I hope your week is going well.

  I was looking at some of my old
    photos for blog post theme today,
and I decided on  these photos of
our pond in different seasons.









The pond in spring

                                                       Most years we have a pair of Canada geese
                                                       and their young on the pond.




A serviceberry tree blooming by the pond.
 

We planted some lupins to self seed around the pond.

Early winter by the pond.


I took this photo in early April
a few years ago after a late snowfall.
The geese come every spring as soon
as the pond thaws.


I took this shot yesterday after we received 
about 25 cm of fresh snow on Sunday.
It was a beautiful day with the trees laden
with snow and the sun shining..
We had showers today with rain
coming tomorrow so the landscape
looks quite different today.


As I am typing this I am listening to
the news talking about stalking up on
groceries etc in case of a pandemic flu.
So what about you .....are you feeling
anxious or just  waiting to see what
happens?

Hope all is well with you!

Carolyn
