It's a moose thing...

This year for Greater Moose Day (observed), we went to a Tiffany glass exhibit at the Nassau County Museum of Art and to tea at Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room, which should have been better than it was (how can you be out of Darjeeling?!?).

As is our way, we wrote haikus...

Mom:

Tea time has arrived
Sandwiches, scones and sweets
Traditions survived

Dance, sing and be gay
Moose Day 2008 continues, yay!
Be happy today,

Deb:

Another Moose Day
Tea at Lady Anne's - haikus
on tiny paper

Tiffany lamps at
Nassau Caounty Museum
of Art - beautiful!

What do the moose eat
on Moose Day? We have tea; they
have water and weeds.

Me:

The first sip of tea
Warms, and enlivens the day,
Renewing spirits

Rainbows of glass pieces
Arranged in natural forms
Tiffany lamp shades

Mom is so giving
As the eclair cream appears
On my plate. Surprise!

Eileen:

Poke Deb in the nose
Take her very last bit of scone,
but give her my eclair.

Excellent. I'm glad you did it up. It was raining and I didn't leave the house, but I sat down with a home-baked scone and a cup of tea and thought of you.
