February's Blossoms

While most deciduous trees are still dormant, tiny cherry blossoms of pink and white are bursting -- a true sign for Californians that spring is on its way.  Following a weekend of rain, the sky looks like blue marble today with swirls of white running through it.  People are on their way to work, school or play bundled in jackets and scarves.  As the sun playfully teases us with the appearance of warmth, there is still a decisive chill in the air.

Inside The Tea Room, surfaces anxiously await Easter's delight.  Eggs, ducks, bunnies, and lambs in pastel shades of pink, green, yellow, and blue hold promise that life will be abundant with new beginnings once more.
