This morning I was out and about in the garden
Sadly, not weeding or planting
But rather picking
For the iris is in full bloom!
A basket brought into the house
To fill vases with this noble flower
And after a good clean of the house,
And ironing of the pillowslips,
I sat down for tea
In my newly rearranged breakfast room
And watched as the rain fell
With a bouquet of iris on the table
Husband Jim and I shared a pot of tea
And a nosh of leftover
"Mother's Day Cookies"
The sunny bright "black eyed Susans" and "Daisies"
made the dreary rainy day seem a bit brighter!
It's Tuesday and I'm joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday and Bernideen for Friends Sharing Tea.

Martha, your posies are lovely and you have set a pretty tea table. What a beautiful view you have! I could spend hours looking out that window. Thank you for joining me for tea and enjoy your week.
Blessings,
Sandi
What a beautiful way to have tea in your garden room. The iris are so lovely as the centerpiece for you tea. The cookies from Mother's Day are just precious in flower shape. I always remember your pretty town when we visited it going to my son's in Missouri at the time. Thankfully he is now close to us now. Have a special week enjoying your garden!

I admit to being a bit jealous of your charming garden room. Even in the rain it seems a peaceful place to spend time.
It all looks lovely and the cookies sound delicious. xoxo
Martha,
The view from the "Breakfast Room" is so inviting. I can only begin to imagine how you and husband Jim are going to enjoy sharing your meals and the view. . .through your Southern Exposure!!!
Fondly,
Pat
My day has been like yours with rain, and it thrills me to hear of someone else who irons pillowcases.
Your teapot is similar to the one on our table at the tea I attended. It was front end heavy when full!
Your breakfast room looks very inviting. I had to run out and see if my Iris were blooming...not yet, but very close! Lovely post.
