high tea at the B&B

Yesterday afternoon my beloved and I ran up to the B&B to help with high tea. . . .

for seventy three. .

(I'm not sure of the exact number but the poet in me comes out)

Ladies from a local church were having their annual bridal/baby shower for all the gals in their church who are getting married and also for those having babies.

Dorothy, her two sisters and I put on a spread completely made from scratch. .

(no commercial boxes were opened for the event)

Remember Corinne's decadent brownies from last week?

The brownies bake up wonderfully in tiny muffin tins. .

just a bite or two.

We set the treats up buffet style.


Tiny little scones with fresh strawberry jam and devonshire cream.

Meanwhile the menfolk. . .(our little friend Ethan. . his dad Todd and my beloved)
were on car parking patrol .. .



My beloved suggested that we go home later and make use of the warm weather.
He thought we might run past the grocer and pick up a few things for the grill.

Worst case scenario .. .. turn on the heat a bit. . .
with the new patio furnace.

The sun was looking to set wonderfully in the west .. .


As I was putting a few yummy things together in the kitchen I heard some
groaning. . .

He said. . "come look outside"
I said .. . "oh no. . . .is the wind picking up? .. .it looks so beautiful out."
He said. . "come look out east"

The storm was coming in quickly.


The heater was turned on. .. .


The grilling commenced. . .


. .. and consumed indoors. .

70's music channel blarring in the background. .
us playing . . . .who sang that?. . .
. . "brown eyed girl" .. . my song. . .

~~~~~~~~


And that my friends. . .was our Sunday afternoon/evening.

Have a wonderful day my friends. .
first thing on the agenda. . is a walk .. .
those high tea treats . . . .shoot.
