Tea and tarts by the flower bed

Tea before planting



Tea on the grass
Peonies make the best centerpiece



Pink watering cans make garden work more fun

Yum-- tarts and bunny cookies--someone bit the ears off!


Pink roses greet you at the gate

Tarts for moi and Pink Boy

In the flower bed another peony

I bent my rules we used paper napkins

So many things to plant yet


Tin plates are great for picnics--they look like Sevres china



Fabric covered tray and jacquard francaise linens

Sweet peas on my picnic baskStill like to use napkin rings


Tablescape Thursday


join Susan at BNOP:






The weather is so mild and the flowers are just bursting open all around my house I can't bear to be inside on days like this. I had some planting to do so why not make it fun?!
Pink pentas and some other little annuals to fill in color areas will not take too long to plant.


In meantime I made a pot of soothing jasmine tea and some strawberry tarts found their way into the house. We had some leftover bunny cookies too--someone bit the ears off before I took the photos! Hmm


Have a Pink day!



Pentas to plan

Another view of the boarder

Come on in and visit a little I love to have company in the garden


As some of you know my garden is mainly pink or white flowering plants and trees and almost all are fragrant. I love searching for new pink plants to use. A few years ago I bought a pink redbud tree. Redbud trees grow all over the south and usually bloom a purple color or lavender. I found a pink variety it is rather new. It is doing so well. In a few years it will be about 7 feet tall. The flowering almond trees already bloomed in February they are my first pink plant to bloom besides camellias

I also planted pink Daphne and pink Viburnum ! So many plants are ready to "pop" any day now! I love that my garden reflects the colors inside of my home .

Have a Pink day!
