Tea & Hydrangeas

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Monday Morning Blooms

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91:1-2‬ ‭

Hello sweet readers! Can you believe that summer will officially begin this Saturday? Summer arrived a little early in our Appalachian Foothills with temps already in the 90’s!

It is the third Monday of the month and I am joining my talented friends for Monday Morning Blooms. You are invited to join me in the garden for tea and hydrangeas!

“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.”
-May Sarton

 

Welcome to the garden, my little happy place! I have set a small tea table for two with beautiful hydrangeas for a little simple pleasure.

A cup of Earl Grey tea and a macaron…perfect late afternoon pick-me-up!

Hydrangeas In A Box

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭

Happy June sweet friends. Not only is it the first day of a new month, it is the first Monday of the month and that means Monday Morning Blooms. In our troubled and disturbing times, hopefully Shirley, Lidy, Mary, and I can brighten your day with flowers!

“It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”
-Maud Hart Lovelace

I would have a hard time choosing a favorite flower, but hydrangeas would be in my top three!

There are so many varieties to choose and I have never met one that I didn’t love!

Spring Flowers In The Garden

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:22‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. I love the above scripture…a joyful or cheerful heart is like a good medicine. A cheerful or joyful heart doesn’t mean that everything is perfect in our lives. In fact, we can often find ourselves in very difficult circumstances. Like medication is helpful for the body when we are sick, a grateful heart filled with the spirit is medicine for the soul.

It is the third Monday of the month which means Lidy, Mary, Shirley, and I are bringing you floral inspiration and Monday Morning Blooms! Our theme of late and today is “anything goes” since flowers can be hard to find during our current situation.

 

A small tea table was set in the garden…

…but it is really about these gorgeous blooms!
