This past Sunday was the Tea Party that my walking buddy hosts each year for all us ladies that live in the Prairie. It's a fun time with lots of talking and some delightful food. What's really special is to be able to enjoy Shannon's yard and garden. Where my thumbs are completely brown, hers are definitely all green. I just wanted to share some pictures from her garden with you, and hope you'll enjoy seeing them as much as I did.

My contribution to the tea party was to make English Scones. We even had
REAL Devonshire clotted cream and Lemon Curd(given to me by our Yoga Instructor who found it at the PX on base). These are deadly on the hips, but oh so good.
I'm posting this early enough that you still have time to get your SHOW ME post in on
Sassy Cheryl's blog for a chance at a free Sassy Cheryl image AND a chance to meet and see what fellow crafters have going on in their lives.
How fun is this...I have been working in the yard also...getting it early in hopes to get in the studio...hope!
