Tea In the Garden . . .

Friday I was busy in the kitchen

Doing food prep for my Saturday class

And with my sugar cookie dough and some lavender

I baked

Some lavender sugar cookies.

Two for each guest

To be packaged in a cello bag and tied with a lavender ribbon

But I had some leftover dough

And so I made for me some lavender sugar cookies

Only mine say "lavande" 

(Lavender in French)

One of my favorite garden ornaments

Is my "thymely" rabbit

A wire form

filled with moss and a thyme plant.

He is a great show and tell

when I do a cooking with herb class

And he also makes a great centerpiece

for tea in the garden

For every afternoon at half past three

I stop for a cup of tea

And it was a beautiful day

And the garden beckoned.

I, however, had company

Who shamelessly thought she should also have some tea treats!

And after tea . . . 

Back in the kitchen to finish up the

Lavender Ganache Cupcakes.

It is my own garden lavender

But I adore the little "French Lavender" container

that I bought at Williams-Sonoma

And it is perfect for my home grown lavender.

It is Tuesday and I'm joining these parties this afternoon!
