Wisteria came for Breakfast tablescape

Wisteria came for breakfast. 

Her heady fragrance permeated the fresh spring air.

Her subtle colors dominated the landscape.

Sharp contrasts of black and white fought with her to be the stars, Wisteria won.

Wisteria is attracted to the soft fluttering of the birds as they fly by quickly in search of a sunny spot to rest.

Wisteria casts her shadow as if to weave a spell.

Reflective surfaces with her showy perfection allow you to drink her in.

She requires the perfect cups and glasses to drink her being.

The little vases carry her song to the tabletop.

Wisteria draped herself across the table majestically, ensnaring you into her tendrils.

Wrapped napkins bowed to her graces.

Flatware shied away from her beauty.

She appeared as a gentle breeze.

Wisteria ruled the table.

She was here for but a spell. Too quickly gone. I pray she comes again, soon. She soothes my restless soul.

Thank you so much for coming by to visit Wisteria and me. It's always fun to have company and share in your thoughts. I'll be linking up to Cuisine Kathleen's new party - Let's Dish on Wednesdays. On Thursdays. we make our appearance at Susan's Tablescape Thursday. Please come by for a visit!

A wonderfully busy week, come see what's been going on!

  

It's been a really busy week around here. Fun but busy. 

Last week the plumbers had fun in the back yard.

Our middle granddaughter turned 5!!

And we were getting ready for one of our favorite social gatherings.

So I relied on mind mapping software to keep me on track.

Mind mapping?

It's not as bizarre as it seems... just a cool computer tool to organize your thoughts.

Baby Zoe turned 5. 

She used to be the baby until last December, when Maddie was born (same son, 3 girls!)

The yard was agreeing that we should move the party venue from the inside to the outside...

Can you just smell the wisteria?

 And I planted my flower pots already...

Oh please leaves fill in on the trees!

What a beautiful evening! Truly magical.. 

We could not have planned for better weather!

I love white tablecloths - even outside.

Afterwards, the dishes in the dishwasher, the other items put up,

A short rehash of the fun time we had hosting our friends.

Even Regan says it's time for a siesta!!

Here's hoping your week ahead is amazing! Thanks for dropping by. I'll see you Wednesday for Kathleen's Let's Dish and Thursday for Susan's Tablescape Thursday! Cya there...

A prayer in spring...

 Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;

 And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

 

All simply in the springing of the year.

 

  Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,

 Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

 And make us happy in the happy bees,

 The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird

 

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

 The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

 And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

 For this is love and nothing else is love,

 

The which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.

~~Robert Frost

Things in our neck of the woods are sprouting, blooming, and budding. Like answers to prayers.

Have a blessed week.
