Lilac Tea

Our annual Lilac Tea is coming right up- it's this Sunday at 4:00. Right now I'm concentrating my gardening efforts on cutting down all dead lilacs and cutting out all the dead twigs. Also, I have to mow everything again before Sunday: tonight and tomorrow night. I have to do some more cooking- I'm planning to make gooseberry squares tonight and tomorrow night and make ice tea and cook the rhubarb for our rhubarb punch. We have the music lined up- Sue Cole playing Irish tunes on the flute and at 5:00, we're having a demonstration of Scottish Country Dancing. The lilacs look like they will be at their peak this weekend.
