My book group friend Peggy has an amazing garden. She knows a ton about plants and flowers and spends the entire winter plotting her summer garden. She also has a vast array of pretty teapots, gorgeous teacups and lovely tablecloths. And, to top it off, she is an incredible baker–her desserts are famous in our book group.
On Tuesday, Peggy invited me over for tea in the garden. It was a perfect summer day to sit among the blooming flowers in the shade of the backyard trees. We enjoyed tea and blueberry coffee cake with a pistachio and coconut topping…soooo good! And we were visited by several birds–goldfinches, cardinals, a woodpecker–and one teeeeeny tiny brown mouse munching innocently on some plants…until he made eye contact with us and decided he should find another yard.
It’s days like these that make me wish fall wasn’t creeping up on us so soon…
Thank you for a lovely day, Peggy!
Beautiful & everything looks so yummy. Would hate to see Fall come. Long winter longing to sit outside & enjoy the beauty once again. Something to look forward to though.
Looks like it was a blast!
