JUST BEFORE AN AUGUST RAIN STORM for "Tea In The Garden"



This will be one of those really quick posts
but I am glad to do one as I have missed out on blogging lately.  Today I baked some cookies for my Grand kids so I have some to share with you.  I made both Oatmeal Raisin and Peanut Butter Cookies for them. 


Right as I was setting up the sky began
to rumble so we will move right along.  This has sure been a challenging time
 with Corona Virus. Our city of 
Columbia has mandatory masks in public places.   I have kept busy in the garden and
sewing and baking.


I am sharing one of two fun Victorian spout tea strainers that I purchased 
earlier this year.  They are sterling
 silver and very interesting.


I am already missing the spring bulbs in the 
garden but for now we have lots of pretty hydrangeas.  




We are ready for the flooding rain with
our little dry creek which really does help.
I made a bouquet with flowers from the
garden.



So we have had plenty of hot weather lately.  Camping out has really been popular here because of covid.  I never was much of a camper - sorry to say!


I enjoyed sharing this little tea time
with you and hope you have a 
healthy "rest of your summer"!

  4. Oh my, the garden hydrangeas are beautiful and I see disappearing Lilies in
    your vase! I used to have dozens of them and the pink is just lovely. I have
    never seen tea strainers as you have on the tea pots, but they are so intricate in design. Hard to believe it is August already. Here in Ohio we
    have had lots of rain, and that is so unusual for July and August, but nice
    we have green grass this year instead of the typical brown by now. The
    tea party you present is just a dose of peacefulness. Thank you.

  5. What a pretty tea time even if it was brief. Love your garden and tea table. I just made oatmeal cookies for my grandson and then found out he is now allergic to oats. I can't keep up. Well I will enjoy the cookies, but during Covid time I haven't had enough exercise. My poor body doesn't need more cookies, but I will enjoy them anyway.

    Lucky grandchildren, those cookies look delicious.

  7. I always know where to go to see beauty! Your teatime in the garden is so serene, Bernideen. I've never seen a spout strainer. I'd love an oatmeal raisin cookie before I leave, which are my favorites!

  8. simply lovely, Bernideen. I have been missing your gorgeous posts, as I have greatly trimmed my blog list and ignore so many who have comp-slowing ads on them. Yours is like a breath of fresh air and flowers, always flowers and of course TEA! Thank you for the respite from adworld-blogland! Sandi
