Bird Song Breakfast Pleasure

The earth prepared the stage for our 3rd Breakfast with the Birds quite beautifully!

Our garden watch dog sat with confidence and patience...

fresh fruit, iced tea, buttery croissants and more were in attendance.

We had birds on the linen just in case few showed up in the 90 degree heat...

Simple pleasures of chocolate dipped strawberries or silver platter and goblets of tea...


All for the art of taking in bird watching and listening to their story...Everyone has one to tell. Are you listening to others and telling your story?

Afternoon Tea in the Garden

" There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as an afternoon tea." - Henry James

This morning after getting the children off to school ...I prepared my scone mix and baked them gently in the oven. While the tea was brewing and the scones baking... I went to the parlor and found my favorite teacup my daughter Suzi gave me for holiday 13 years ago. Sitting in my garden I shared the birdsong with warm strawberry scones and a hot cup of Joy. I agree with Henry James... there are a few hours more agreeable than this ceremony. Do you enjoy a slow cup of tea?
