I love a picnic and with tea even better.
A few days ago my sister and I ventured to a park next her home.
It was a potluck for the two of us.
She brought egg salad and chicken cashew sandwiches.
I brought roast beef with caramelized onion and a black olive sandwich.
Then for sweets I brought a small lemon bundt cake
and my sister brought strawberry shortcake.
For the tea it was a black tea, iced,
just right for a summer day in the park.
I loved sitting under a grove of tall oak trees.
The dappled light delighted my heart.
It has become a sister tradition each summer to meet
somewhere under the trees, in the shade and
have a picnic tea outdoors.
I just had to share my sister's smile.
It is always good to catch up and sip a bit of tea.
Happy weekend, dear friends!
Such a fun summertime picnic under the trees! Love that darling little bundt cake. Tea time with sisters is extra special as evidenced by the sweet smile!
ReplyDeleteLovely scenes...so peaceful!
