A Spot of Tea

March 12th, 2009

It’s always fun to go to my mom’s house when she’s babysitting the grandkids and hang out with my nieces & nephew. Yesterday I spent the day enjoying a spot of tea with my nieces.

I took a little tea set over for them as a gift and of course we had to use it right away. They got all dressed up and we enjoyed tea with cream, tea cakes (tiny peanut butter & jelly sandwiches), and mini oreos.

It really is fun enjoying the little things with kids. They were so excited that they got to pour their own tea and use cream in it.

Don’t forget about our Dress Up 2 Cure event. Check out all the people that have already uploaded photos to our Flickr group.

So get your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, pets, vegetables, or anyone dressed and if you need an excuse have a tea party. Dress up, send me a photo and I’ll donate $10 in your name to help little girls with Rett Syndrome.

Did you do anything fun yesterday?

    Tea party! I used to love sandwiches with the crusts cut off and then cut into tiny little squares, just nibbling around the edges into the middle was fun :-) Fav kind, hands down sliced cucumber with cilantro chutney. Still is. Your nieces are adorable.

      Thanks Mangochild, they are pretty cute. They love getting dressed up, it’s that perfect age. Old enough to be lots of fun, but young enough to not be too cool yet.

About

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
