FIRST TEA IN THE GARDEN FOR 2020

Today the weather was so lovely and
absolutely perfect for my first "Tea In
The Garden" for this season of 2020:



This is the kind of dreamy day we love.
I baked us something yummy too and you can
find the recipe here if you'd like to bake it.




I have been looking at Victoria Magazine's
new May/June issue all about France.  I have a friend who adores everything French.




Have a seat and a cup of tea and
help yourself to some of the tart.
The recipe made this one and a 
larger square one.  I did double
the amount of the apricot jam.




I am trying to stop myself from putting
 exclamation points at
the end of my sentences.  I know
that is a very bad habit of mine.




I love watching the birds in my backyard.
The goldfinches have been abundant.









What sort of things have kept you busy
during this indoor time?  I have been
sewing for my Etsy site and baking more
than I should....must walk regularly to
help with that!




I am happy to have these lovely tulips and
daffodils that I planted last fall.  I always
wonder if they will actually come up.
I ordered mine from Color Blend.











I hope you are staying in during this time,
washing your hands a lot and doing your
part to help stop this terrible disease.



This was my 170th "Tea In The Garden".

  6. Bernideen,
    What a lovely pick-me-up! I always enjoy your lovely posts. I'm guilty too of using too many exclamation points. Guess we'll be working on it together. Blessings to you and yours.

  7. Congrats on the 170th! Your tea party in the garden is so lovely.
    I'm trying to read a lot and Spring house cleaning. Waiting for
    the daily rain to stop so I can spend more time out side.
    I enjoy your flowers so much, thank you for sharing. Easter will be
    beautiful for you with your gardens.
