Summertime tea with my Grandmother

(Click to enlarge)

I took this photo a few weeks ago for a challenge, before the dreaded 100F + (38C +) heat overtook the mid-west/central plains, and thought it would also make a good Tea Tuesday post. I call it Summertime Tea with my Grandmother. In fact, I would give anything to have her here drinking tea or coffee with me right now!

All that was needed for this photo's success was a bit of sun tea, my grandmother's vintage pitcher, a glass, also inherited from my grandmother, containing cold tea, and a quilt top flapping lightly in the breeze on my clothesline. I bought the quilt top back when my grandmother was still alive. I thought she would finish it for me, because she hand quilted everything. However, she told me the points were not lined up good enough and, as a result, she could not quilt it for me. So, for years it has sat folded on one end of my guest bed waiting for me to decide what I will do with it.

Have a great Tea Tuesday everyone. While you're having a bit of summer tea, hop on over to Kimmie's for other participants. And we would love you to join Kimmie, who says any drink is welcome, from diet drinks to lemonade to hot chocolate (for all you southern hemisphere gals) to tea. Just let Kimmie know and we will visit.
