Hope your spring time is filled with budding beauty.

Almost a Spring Day
The day began in a beautiful pink and blue hue.
I planted some roses in the cottage yard, in between the cherry trees I planted last year. I won't be able to see them from my house but the cottage tenant will enjoy them...and I can always visit...we've become friends over the years.
They don't look like much now but by summer they will have beautiful flowers that look like these...
I can hardly wait!
This teapot is brewing flowers not tea...
Ready to pour out a cup of Spring blossoms.

I would always greet it in a garden."

That day was a few sunrises (and sets) ago but I wanted to share it with you today for tea time.
Blessings,
It wasn't a typical February day...but I guess it's becoming more typical of our temperamental California weather.
A high of 74 was predicted.
On the deck, in the shade of an Ivy, it topped off at...
As I worked (spreading ground cover) in the yard it felt more like 74!

I didn't mean to get side-tracked and forget to have tea...I just had it a little latter than usual, and I was ready to sit down and enjoy a break from gardening.
No time for anything fancy, just some Cranberry & Ginseng Herb Tea (I like the pretty color).

Doesn't having a cup of tea (or coffee) give a nice relaxing change to the day? A time to reflect on what has already been done, and what is left to accomplish.
While nibbling on something...like warm Cranberry White Chocolate Scones on mixed-matched china.

Back outside I see signs of life peeking out from the ground, happy to see the sun. The daffodils are coming up!

The Daphne in the front yard is blooming.
Its flowers have a very sweet fragrance. Each cluster looks like a miniature bouquet.
And the camellias are ready to burst open!
Spring is just around the corner and I feel it coming.

Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread abroad."

The day ended as it began; in brilliant color!
