The rhodies are now a thing of the past, but roses are in all their glory.
Chocolate roses for a sweet.
Strawberries to delight.
English Breakfast tea served in milk glass.
The teapot always makes me smile with flowers and birds to enchant.
Come sit awhile and take a sip.
The rose scent fills the air.
Tea in the garden on a sunny day delights my soul.

Now THIS is my idea of heaven on earth! And I LOVE that photo with the rose bushes in the foreground and the tea setting in the background -- just lovely!
ReplyDeletethose rose bushes are beautiful. Our rhododendrons are still going strong so we are behind you a bit. And the roses are barely buds.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a charming tea companion. One day, I suspect your companion's name will begin with the letter "D".
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! I would love to sit here and breathe deeply. Is that your peace rose adorning your table?
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks amazing! The table is set up so pretty and you took some terrific photos - just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteEnchanting, Marilyn. Tea, chocolate cake and strawberries all set out in your delightful garden amongst the roses - perfect. I would love to join you.
