Butterflies Go Free

I visited a "Butterflies Go Free" exhibition 

with my daughter and Grandkids, 

during Easter weekend. (2017)

An annual exhibit featuring thousands of 

live colourful butterflies and moths,

 set free, fluttering all around us, 

in the large greenhouse.

What a delightful experience.

These butterflies are here for a few weeks,

then gathered up and send to another city,

Two Tea Cups

I am sharing my new tea cups.

I collect black china tea cups and saucers.

A friend gave me these two beautiful ones yesterday.
She was cleaning her cupboards and wanted to get rid of some.
I'm so happy she thought of me.

To reward my friend for these beautiful tea cups, 

I baked her some Maple Scones.

These are Maple Scones with pecans and glazed with maple glaze.

They are so easy to make and so delicious.

Also I want to wish you all a Blessed Easter.
