When I walked Danny, I noticed the city started planting the trees. Three houses down, they had planted nice purple leaf plums and all up and down the next block were purple plums and other flowering trees. Later that morning, I heard a rumbling noise out front and looked out to see a big truck delivering trees in my block. On the ground in front of my house was an ugly tree. It was not a purple plum and it had no flowers. Across the street were two tress that looked like dead oaks. I went out to exam it closer and could not figure out what kind of tree it was. The whole truckload had either the kind in front of my house or the dead looking oaks.
I walked Danny at 11:00 instead of noon as I was meeting a friend for lunch at the teahouse. As we walked along, men were in various stages of digging with a giant awe, unloading the trees from the truck, and delivering them to pre-marked spots. I saw a man and woman who looked like they were supervising. They thought Danny Boy was cute. The man said not only did Danny have the hind legs of a Corgi but also his front paws turned outward like a Corgi. I hadn’t noticed that before. I asked what kind of trees they were. My side of the street got ironwood trees. He said they are good for under the power lines. He said it was a nice tree even though it didn’t flower. The other side of the street got Chestnut Oaks.
I went to lunch at the teahouse with a friend from church. She wanted to go but none of her friends were into tea. It was a lovely little place in Millville. They served the tea and then scones with clotted cream and lemon curd. The names sound ugly but they were good. Diane got some special blend of lemon tea. It had the taste of lemon meringue pie. I got the Rose blend. It was a hearty black tea.
Next came a tiered tray of various finger sandwiches, little cakes and cookies and scones. They were all delicious. We sat in the window seat and watched the people go by. The teahouse was decorated with various bone china plates, teacups and teapots. It was mothers bring your daughters to work day so the chef brought her daughter who was dressed in a chef jacket and hat. She was helping prepare the food and came out to meet the customers. She looked to be about 12 years old. A customer had brought her daughter to work and was having lunch there at the teahouse. She also looked about 12 years old. The mother and daughter had a nice time there, too.
Bible Study will be early tonight as the minister has another activity tonight.
