A tid of tea or two & a bit of chocolate cake!

This has been a great day! Friday! Was up tiddily early; and did a bunch of "Spring Cleaning!" With the anticipated warmer temperatures, I made "ready" our bittid patio balcony, just off our bedroom. That included adding 2 "Louis X1V" ish arm chairs; with cushions, and one foot rest, to what furniture, there is presently; which is, a tid of an "Italian Florentine wooden tole" table, along with a matching tole magazine rack, and a waste paper tole basket; and 2 East Canadian "country" pine chairs; with cherry tomato covers. I am thinking that I will cover the daisy patterned ensemble, with protective plastic wrap, when the weather is damp. And, when needed, will re furbish with material a bit more durable for outdoor all year round use. Our second bedroom / guest room now has a tid bit more room!

These pieces of furniture were my parents'; and we were the only ones that wanted them - sentimental reasons! Plus the flower box has been "prepped" for our red, pink, and white geraniums; which will further enhance our "Bohemian" patio. Fortunately, the roof is over the balcony; however, the sides and front are exposed. A few feet of wood on the sides; with the plexiglass in the middle; and, the wooden flower box located on top of the enclosing plexiglass. It is a very cosy vista; particularly, for appreciating the sunsets over the mountains and throughout the trees; and / or a private area for the afternoon rays of sun!

Tidbit - "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!"

Or, what may be considered not to be a treasure by someone, may be a "find", or a treasure appreciated by somebody else! This is, indeed, the case with our floral "garden furniture". We LOVE it; and when the time comes, when replacement is needed, we will just sand / varnish the wood; and restore / recover the chairs.

Alan and I worked on our business; have projects lined up, with major appointments for early next week.

Was invited, later this afternoon, for tea with a handful of our neighbours. It was a lovely visit; and wonderful to tidbitz and bittidz with those who live in our street "row". We sat down for "tea" at our hostess' table; along with a huge slice of "death by chocolate" cake. Ironically, the above photo image of the tea cup is very similar to her china pattern; and the interior of the cake, is almost a replica; save that there were also blackberries as a garnish. Now, that was a healthy delight!

Bittid - Enjoy! Create laughter; there is not enough laughter in the world! We laughed in many tids and bits today; and I was honoured to be with these women; who are old enough to be my Mum. New friendships have emerged! We all feel very blessed!

Good Night & God Bless each and every one of us!
