A Rainy Day Tea

-


It was an early springtime affair.
Two old friends and the rain were there.





Flickering candles. A pot of hot tea.
Pear blossoms falling from high in the tree.

An impromptu event,
to which non could compare...


And only two friends
and rain were there.

    How cozy...a cup of tea with friends on a damp day. I just LOVE the teacup, as well. We actually have sun on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington for a change today!

    We have only had 2 days of rain all spring - we need 5 more inches or all fireworks for the 4th are canceled - fire danger very high!
