Waiting Patiently

Hello everyone!

Cape Cod, MA

I've been looking for a vintage bicycle in yard sales, but so far . . . no luck.  Vintage bicycles reminds me when we used to live on the lovely Cape Cod.  I remember seeing all those vintage bicycles for rent, and also the tourist and the exchange students riding on those pretty bikes.  So in the mean time I decided to take my "modern" bike to the herb garden to pose for some pictures. 

The little basket at the right corner usually sits on a table at the front porch.

This basket hangs on our front door, but I just borrowed it for the pics.  I'll be in the look out for a bike's basket also.

I'll be waiting patiently for my vintage bike . . .

When my husband and I got married we went to Nantucket for our honeymoon, and we rented bikes.

Here's a photo of my hubby on his rental bike.

I love that bike and the cute rider too!

You can bike ride the entire island.

Specially for you!

Mother's Day  . . . an absolutely perfect day for a tea party!
Please, come along . . .   and enjoy some tea
al fresco.

The picnic basket is ready!

This china set was bought at a rummage sale, and the teapot

was bought at a yard sale.  It was a perfect match.

Today our first peony and roses will

grace our teatime.

I love pink roses!

A cute nest from last year, the pretty eggs where

found at our lawn.

When the season is over, I like to go and

search for abandon nests.  There's something

special about nests . . . Don't you think?

The pot of tea is ready . . .

Come and share a cup of tea . . .

. . . some fresh fruits, homemade peaches

and apple sauce.

God made mothers special . . .

There's something about a mother's love that's real and pure and strong ~ It's a blessing to her family just to know there's a place they belong . . .   She gently accepts them as they are, there's no need to pretend, She sees the good, believes in them, and loves them without end . . . She listens to worries, encourages dreams, and when she's as special as you, She's wished all the joy she has helped to create, and She's treasured each day all year through.

Happy Mother's Day!

With love always,

Herbs

Hello everyone,

How is your spring like?  Our spring it's been very dry, and it's feeling more like summer.  Not so good, because the grass has started to get dry to soon.  Singing another song, today I started harvesting our herbs.  Here are photos of all that fun work.

Mint & Oregano

Gwendolyn helping with the chore.

In the back you can see where my

husband hung the pots and pans that

we are going to use outdoors.

I started hanging Mint & Oregano,

we still have more herbs to hang,

Rosemary, Lemon Balm, Catnip and

Lavender . . . my favorite!

Ah . . . smell so good!

There is nothing like a good homegrown

Mint tea!

Enjoy your refreshing tea!

Hugs,

I'm joining . . .
