Gardenhouse Celebration

 Stepping into the gardenhouse is like stepping into a womb.

So teatime celebrations are a perfect way of celebrating a birth

right here in the gardenhouse.

 The cake for the birthday girl was center stage.

No I didn't bake it, but embellished it with berries.

 The stage was set and ready for the guests to arrive.

 Let them eat cake, first and foremost.

Then for other nibbles there was smoked salmon, smoked trout,

prosciutto, goat cheese, all sorts of olives and pickled things,

a baguette, rice crackers, and a gluten free cupcake for one guest.

 We stepped inside,

we ate cake,

we sipped tea (Baozhong oolong and Tulsi with roses)

and

for a couple hours the world went away.

The celebration was mine.

Four special women sat at my table.

We celebrated 75 years of living.

It delighted my soul.
