~ Take a little Time for Tea ~

Every season has its song.  In fall, it is the skitter

of leaves across the walk; in winter, it is the hush

of fresh fallen snow; in the summer it is the roar

of waves, but it is Spring's song that makes spirits

soar.  For in spring, the songbirds fly home~

Swallows, Warbles and Orioles...

Spring's song is alive and chirping,

thus the music of the garden has

returned.

This lovely bird house I bought it at

Christmas Tree Shops, and the bird

came from Michael's.

The heart shape pillow I bought it at

Penny Lane Consignment store, when I was

living on Cape Cod, MA.   The beautiful flowers 

came from Home Goods.

These doors were built by the

love of my life, my husband.

I adore Bunnies!

This cute bunny came from

  Christmas Tree Shops

A little bit of history...

Christmas Tree Shops was founded on

Cape Cod in 1970, and in 2003 was

purchase by Bed, Bath & Beyond.

I lived on the Cape for 17 years and

CTS has 6 store there, so I own a

lot of precious items from them.

...with it comes birds, eggs, nests and bunnies.  Don't you love bunnies?  Oh, I love bunnies, we have them everywhere.  They are so precious.

This bunny came from HG.  Her spring 

dress with its little jacket is so pretty!

She's holding a shoulder bag. 

Isn't it cute?

Celebrate the Splendor of Spring

What is it about spring that fascinates us?  Perhaps, the anticipation of flowers blooming, trees blossoming... beautiful shades of all colors, sparkling sunshine warming the air, and birds singing their sweet melodies... truly a wonder to behold!

I invite you for a walk in our garden... Enjoy God's precious gifts!

"Tis my faith that every flower

enjoys the air it breathes!"

~William Wordsworth

Spring

The sun lies light on a jade-green hill,

There's a burst of song from a loosened rill,

The wind warms the breast of

the new-turned sod,

And the note of a bird

links earth with God!

~Anne Elizabeth Maddock




Amish Farm, TN

     

I love Spring anywhere, but if I

could choose, I would always greet

it in a garden.

~Ruth Stout

The Spring of God

Across the edges of the world

there blows a wind

Mysterious with perfume of a Spring;

A Spring that is not of the

kindling earth,

That's more than scent of bloom

or gleam of bud;

The Spring of God in flower!

~William A. Percy

"A Flower's appeal is in its

contradictions-so delicate in

form yet strong in fragrance,

so small in size yet big in

beauty, so short in life yet

long on effect."

~Adabella Radici

How lovely it is to delight in

the rejuvenation of nature.
