rainy day tea time scrabble
It has been a rather gloomy spring here
many grey and cool days
the first weekend of summer

When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night. This isn’t the greatest picture of her...I think I caught her in mid-chew. Sunday I met with both of my daughters and my grandchildren.

Lovely. Nothing better on a rainy day than a cup of tea ... a good book ... scrabble! Wonderful image. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteI like those kind of days sometimes. You get a chance to get cozy, enjoy tea and the comfort of a shelter.
ReplyDeleteLove this post because it contains two of my favourite pastimes--tea and Scrabble!
ReplyDeleteWe've been having the same kind of spring and early summer days...grey, rainy and dreary on the outside...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo and your thoughts about the day as special. We have had record setting rains which were greatly needed for we were in severe drought! The heat and humidity are now here with a few days of rain to cool us off! Hope you have a warmer summer but come on down to Texas if you want some warm summer days!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Pam
