Afternoon Tea

Caught up with our friends, the Pierces for a Sunday afternoon full of tea. I bought one of those Groupons and sometimes you never know what you are going to get but this one didn't disappoint. We had so much tea we could practically float home! It was Penny and Dave's first tea and I think both had an enjoyable time. Verona brought her big floppy pink hat which we somehow got Penny to try on for a picture or two. She was quick to throw it to the found as soon as the camera was put away. In addition to great tea, they had these gigantic scones with cream and strawberries. I didn't even need the mini sandwiches, I could have just eaten a platter full of scones! Penny had fun drinking water out of her little tea cup while the adults cautiously looked on preparing for her to push the cup off the table. But luckily, she was a good little girl and there was no broken china at our table that day. It always amazes me when they bring out the 3-tiered tray how much food is on the tray. When you look at everything in bite size it doesn't look like much but then two hours go by and along with 3 pots of tea and a million sandwiches later you realize that those little finger foods add up to quite a bit!

The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
