Tea Time on the Dock
I enjoyed a stunning, Sunday morning with some tea down on our lower dock. Some wonderful Celtic Cottage tea, some very crumbly blueberry coffee cake I made last night and some s single peony bloom from the garden.

Sunday, Funday Tea
On our last day at Disney World in 2005 as I was wondering in and out of shops on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, I ran across a store that stole my heart. So, that is also where I plunked down a hefty amount of cash for items I did NOT need, but oh,

Just a Sunday Tea in Spring
What does one do on a rainy Sunday in spring? Enjoy some tea and flowers, of course. I cut the few daffodils that were flowering in the garden and poured some Celtic Cottage tea from Trail Lodge Tea. Using my Tain Pottery teacup and teapot always reminds me of Scotland as well. We’re planning a

Reward Tea
We held our eighth annual brain aneurysm awareness event yesterday. After months and months of work and planning, the event went off without a hitch. Well, except for two tent tragedies (it was a tad windy on the coast). A very long day and a lot of standing and running around always means I’m exhausted

Some Scottish Treats
Our annual trip to the Maine Highland Games & Scottish Festival this year needed to include a special purchase. A few months ago I shattered my wee Scottish Tain Pottery teacup after it slipped and fell from an Adirondack chair out on the deck. I was heartbroken. My favorite Scottish pottery was missing a piece!

Saturday Tea
It’s just a tick cooler out today and the perfect temperature to enjoy some tea out on the deck. I went out and cut some flowers from the garden for a wee bouquet. Not much to choose from at the moment as all the daisies are almost gone by and the entire garden is kind
