We have daffodils in two different areas in our yard. These burst open later than the ones I showed before. It’s always a surprise and joy to see them pop up and open their heads without any effort on my part.
Thank you to Joyce for coming up with the Wednesday Hodgepodge questions each week!
1. The Hodgepodge lands on National Picnic Day…will you celebrate? Do you enjoy picnics? Dining out of doors picnic or otherwise? What are three or four things I’d find in your picnic basket?
Typically, I am not a fan of picnics or dining outside. The temp and bug situation has to be just right for outside eating. I do like to picnic inside. Avocado, salami, baguette, pickled vegetables would be in my picnic basket.
2. A time recently where you felt ‘antsy’?
Sometimes when I wake in the night and can’t get back to sleep I can get antsy.
3. As the saying goes…’when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.’ Do you like lemonade?
I do enjoy lemonade.
When did you recently need to make lemonade out of lemons, figuratively speaking?
My meal planning and execution can fall into this saying. Making a meal out of limited supplies because I didn’t plan ahead.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
For April I’m challenging myself to an A-Z photo a day excluding Sundays and in addition to any regular posts that come to be.
Today is Wednesday April 23rd and we are on the letter T.
T is for Tea as in going out to a tearoom or friend’s home to enjoy tea or having high tea in the United Kingdom.
I have been fortunate to be able to enjoy some very nice ‘high teas’ and ‘tea times’. I’m going to have to do a separate post for my tea focus besides this shout out to the challenge here.
The lovely tea above was at the home of Lovella with most of the Mennonite Girls Can Cook several years ago.

My mom was never a fan of picnics either, Ellen….for all of the same reasons that you mentioned here. I, on the other hand, took after my paternal grandmother and love picnics! xx
I smiled at your explanation of the women’s Blue Origin space flight. “Dabbling” cracked me up- so true! That tea picture is so good and I look forward to a “tea”-riffic post about other tea room experiences that you have had. Have a great day!
I feel the same about picnics. A picnic sounds so lovely! But my ideal picnic weather would be cooler than Ron’s ideal, so we’d probably just eat inside. 🙂
Bekah and I were somewhat amused at the hype surrounding the Blue Origin flight. When one of the ladies kissed the ground upon return, Bekah said, “You’ve been up there 11 minutes, woman. Get a grip.” 🙂
High tea is one of my favorite things. I like all kinds of teas though so even tea at home is a treat. I want a real cup though, and I like to make it in a pot. It’s one of the few civilized niceties that remain from days of old. Enjoy your day!
…I need to work on my desk, it’s a mess!
Hi, my desk looks like your desk. And I too have a bulletin board with love pinned on it.
Love, Carla
The flowers are so beautiful. Your inside picnic sounds yummy. Yes, that was definitely stunt for attention to them. Your morning space looks wonderful. Enjoy each day! The tea looks lovely and how wonderful to have all those yummy things available to eat. Take Care.
Nice to visit you today. I would like some daffodils at our new house.
I like the idea of picnics but actually having one because of the reasons you mentioned means it doesn’t happen much if ever!
I do love daffodils, such a cheery flower!
Ohh! I get that too, waking in the night and not being able to get back to sleep.
Yum to the high tea!
Your “space” does have a lovely view and seems like a cozy, relaxing place to start the day. Love your tea table photo! Hope you’re having a great week!
I love your morning space. The actual space and the concept of it. Very special. And I wish I could say I have enjoyed several “high teas”! How nice that would be!
