Life Moves Pretty Fast

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  ―  Ferris Bueller It's so true. Last week I was checking out my many rose bushes and wondering when they would bloom. They seem late this year.  A few days later I was outside chasing one of my little dogs. She is losing her hearing and sight, but I swear her little legs are running faster than ever. It's never been like her to run off. While I was running after her (or more like hobbling and limping) I noticed a couple of bushes with a few roses.  After I got the pup settled and inside, I went back out to cut a few roses. The bees even took pity on me and allowed me to cut some of their sage blossoms. I placed the pretty little vase from my Mother's collection by a few Paris mementos.

A Tea Party for Three Special Guests

You may not recognize the name, but you have certainly seen her illustrations. 

Susan Branch is an author, watercolorist, and designer.  Her colorful illustrations gained popularity in the mid-1980s. Susan's whimsical blog is filled with her colorful designs and decorating ideas. I felt the need to share...

 The art is by Susan and the quote was written by author and poet Jessica Nelson North (1891-1988).  I am going to take Susan and Jessica up on this - after all these are three of my favorite guests.

Oh, there's three more guests, four-pawed guests by the names of Chloe, Rose, and Nash, who always crash my tea parties whenever their little noses smell sandwiches, cake, and pie.
I had a little tea party
this afternoon at three.
Twas very small,
three guests in all,
I, Myself, and Me!
