OUT ON THE PATIO for "Tea In The Garden"

We have enjoyed a lovely summer in
 Missouri and now the nights are cooling off.  

Over labor day we made a quick trip to

Des Moines, Iowa but mostly this summer,

we just enjoyed being home.  Here is a little

tea table I set up for us outside by the Koi pond.

 I thought I'd share the teapot

 I found in Valley Junction in
West Des Moines.

It is called Canadian Rose by Royal Albert.

As you can see we have had very little rain lately!

I love that the robin's won't be

leaving for winter but the hummingbirds -

which have been so fun - will be going

south soon.

Miss Tabitha is especially proud of the foxgloves

she has been growing from seed this summer:

And now back to our tea on the patio.....

Here is a closer view

 of the

teapot:

I have been learning to sew tea cozies and

this is one I made last week for myself - it

is on the teapot I showed you above.

I have been praying for all the people

who have experienced these tragic

hurricanes down south. 
 I hope you have too.
