Garden Blues

The theme for today is blue and these are a few of the photos I took today so you can see some of our garden blues.

dwarf iris

lamium-not sure of the variety

perennial bachelor's button or ragged robin

That is all my garden blues for today. Our lilacs are very close to blooming and the apple blossoms are beautiful this year so pretty soon it will be garden bliss!

Take care,

Comfort Food

Hello everyone,

We got some much needed rain yesterday with cooler temperatures and a few showers this morning so it is a good day here for some comfort food. The rhubarb is ready now in our garden so the first thing I make every year with it is rhubarb cobblecake.

After cutting up the rhubarb you cook it on top of the stove with sugar etc. (recipe follows)

This base is then topped with drop biscuit dough.

It is so good!

some whipped cream

and a cup of tea and I am ready to enjoy some old fashioned comfort food!

Here is the recipe in case you would like to try it.( click on to enlarge)

The flowers on the table are a pansy geranium and' freckles'

viola.

you can see where it got the name 'freckles'

I hope you enjoy a little comfort food today!

Take care,

Carolyn

Little Ones Tea

Good Morning,

We had a beautiful long weekend here on the Island and to celebrate Victoria Day we had a family brunch at our house. Part on the event was a tea that some of the little ones enjoyed in our garden cottage.

The lovely little participants were two of my granddaughter's and my grand niece.

Yum! those cupcakes are good.

Drink up everyone!

More tea?
