TIME FOR "TEA IN THE GARDEN" AGAIN





Hello there blogging friends 
and welcome to "Tea In The Garden":





I set up a little table for us to sit by the pond
and have a chat over tea.  I know it is
hot out as it is in the 90's most of the time now.


I wanted to show you a few
cookbooks I recently got at
my favorite "resale" shop.  
I haven't had time to just sit and 
read lately since there is still a list
of things to do after moving.
  I guess I need
a rainy day or better yet,  
winter is a time much more suited to reading.


I am also sharing an English bone
china sweet cream
 and sugar set
 which is made
by "Old Royal".




My English bone china cups and saucers are
 Kent & Taylor on the
left and the one on the right is Adderly.
The teapot is a little Sadler which has an
orphan lid which works just fine.



This Kent & Taylor cup and saucer is one of my favorites:




I don't have a wide angle lens but this is the
right side of our yard:




And looking toward the left:


I have been in a continuous cycle of trying
to stay on top of the June Beetles but......
it is tough!  I guess they didn't get the memo
that it isn't June anymore!


I do enjoy now having a selection of flowers
 in the garden to choose from for bouquets and
I will be excited to see how much fuller
the garden will be next year.

  17. Bernideen, you have so many perfect spots for tea, both indoors and out! I wouldn't get out of the kitchen with my cuppa, not being able to decide where to enjoy it! My next afternoon tea is going to be outdoors in the gazebo, and I'll be serving my Earl Grey Ice Cream as a special treat.
