LET'S SLOW DOWN FOR "Tea In The Garden"

Welcome to "Tea In The Garden" and what  a lovely morning for a cup of tea.  



Things in the garden are slow going 
since we just had snow days ago so
this bouquet should brighten up
the table.






My husband and I plan to take the day off today after surviving Territory Days all weekend in Old Colorado City.  I am so glad the event is over - masses of humanity packing the streets.  Time to relax today!



I hope our weather is finally going to stay warm as we had cold weather last week and we are tired of it.  You know what I mean.  This weekend was beautiful so hopefully that is the new trend.



My poor tulips don't exist this year as they came up 6 weeks ago and then froze and the leaves turned brown. They never bloomed and a lady told me they get the strength to bloom from the leaves. It is safe to say that we
have no real spring in Colorado, we
have snow in spring.



I'm not trying to fool you as I wouldn't have too much in the garden yet accept for sticking new plants in here and there.  My lilac bushes are also short on blooms this year.

    Hi dear friend,
    I absolutely love your Windsor Castle Tea Set! It is gorgeous! Your table looks very beautiful with the colourful flowers on top and surrounding the lovely tea party. I managed to change your URL code. Thank you for noticing that.
    I also wanted to have tea in the garden today but we are having rain all week. Hopefully next week. Thank you for hosting "Tea in the Garden".
    Take care,
    Karen

    Good afternoon Bernideen,
    What a lovely spot to spend some time! I hope it is warmer there than it is here! Way too cold to sit outdoors for tea.
    That bouquet is gorgeous and your neighbor will certainly appreciate it. Your tea set is so pretty and so is your topiary! Lovely photos! Have a beautiful day, my friend and thanks for coming to tea and hosting your lovely party as well.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Lovely teascape. Your neighbor is going to love the bouquet. Your garden is lovely (sorry about the tulips). You are so lucky to be able to take tea outside. It is already too hot here! Ice tea is on the menu. Happy Tea Day!

    Your bouquet is absolutely stunning, Bernideen. I don't have roses or foxglove blooming yet. My lilacs are done. I love your teaset. It is classy and feminine. Enjoy your days off!

    Hello Bernideen,
    Your outdoor tea setting is so beautiful. And your tablescape is to lovely for words!
    It is all perfectly peaceful and romantic.

    I have had many roses this spring, and today I noticed my jasmine has bloomed. But I did not get any daffodils, or any lilac blooms at all. I was sad about that! I missed them. But hopefully, next year they will be able to bloom.
    Hugs,
    Terri

    Hello Bernideen
    The Windsor Castle china is pretty as is your tablecloth. You always have the nicest tablecloths! You're like me, use a bouquet that is destined as a gift for a tea post first. :-) It is lovely and I'm sure your neighbour will appreciate it.
    I hear you about the flowers in the garden; strange weather presents strange bloom times or not at all.
    Thank you for hosting.

    Goodness Bernideen, I absolutely wish I was in Colorado today. We've had solid rain for ages here on the West Coast and I'm as sick to death of it as you are with the cold. Your tea table looks so inviting I'm going to tell Robert that I'm ready for a move to Arizona or some place like that, because in our other home in England it's just as bad. Hey, how about the south of France...maybe a lovely garden tea table awaits me in the south of France...ahh...next life. :) Hope you have a lovely rest of the week and sending you big, warm, flowery hugs. :)

    Your tea in the garden is just beautiful. The flower centerpiece on your table is one of the prettiest I've seen. Did anyone notice the little visitor down in the right hand corner of your first photo? Hope you had tea left for your other guests..Happy Wednesday..Judy

    Your tea in the garden is gorgeous!

    You have already seen this tablescape I am posting from last week, but I wanted to add it to this party to lend my support.

    I love that bouquet- one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, it's GORGEOUS - and that china, is so lovely, how I would enjoy sitting with you there at that pretty table sipping tea!

    I intended to get something together new for it but time got away from me and today is going to be 90 degrees already, yuck.

    So, pretend this table is outdoors, haha. Thanks for hosting. Hope to see many more lovely teas in your pretty garden, Bernideen! God bless.

    Came across pictures from this post on FB this morning and the post said they didn't know where the pictures came from. I told them they should check their source better and give credit for who took the photos.
