This is the scene from the Mary Poppins movie where they have tea on the ceiling, although this video just has the song. Here's a picture of the actual tea party (from the Bigelow Tea Blog):
Now, doesn't that sound like great fun! I'm settling for tea on the patio, but if I ever figure out anti-gravity it'll certainly expand my options.
This reminds me of that Dr. Seuss quote, "It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how," from The Cat in the Hat. It is so true! Since I don't know how to float my tea table up to the ceiling, I'll have to make my fun where I can. This time of year, the patio is filled with potted plants, and I'm having fun trying to figure out what to plant in the beds now that I've dug up and discarded the plantings that had been there.
Elizabeth had a disappointing experience at a Chinese restaurant. There are always folks sharing a variety of experiences over there on Tuesdays, and I enjoy the visit.

While the tea party looks like fun, I'm one of those who like my feet firmly planted on the ground. Hope you get those plants in the ground. Our garden is limited this year as out water usage is limited. Have to have home grown tomatoes though if nothing else.

my potted plants are the only things that get watering. i try to plant things that can do ok on rain water alone & that's not usually a problem here. i grew tomatoes in a pot one year. i'll have to do that again. they are so much better!
DeleteThank you for such a fun visit...what a great movie clip too!
ReplyDeleteI am very grateful to find fun in so many little things each day and am easily entertained by things around me.
Enjoy your gardening and I quite agree with your 'weed' comment on my t post today :)
Happy T Day!
oxo
yes, finding fun in the little things is a blessing :)
DeleteOh that does look like fun to have tea in the air... I'm enjoying all the pretty colors of the annuals I finally planted and hung in baskets and now just need to keep them pretty :) Happy T day to you!
ReplyDeletecolorful flowers would be nice :)
DeleteI totally want a tea-party in the air too! I'm not sure I ever recall that scene from Mary Poppins, though it has been a l-o-n-g while!! Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeletei haven't seen that movie in sooo long! that post from bigelow tea reminded me of that scene.
DeleteI've watched this movie and have enjoyed it so much. Love Dr.Seuss' quotes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

dr seuss quotes remind me of reading aloud to the kids when they were little.
DeleteOGoodness! I haven't seen that movie for so long I forgot about this whole scene and the floating tea table. LOL! :) Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeletei know! hope you had a happy t day, too :)
DeleteWhat fun it would be, to sit so high and drink out tea! (couldn't resist)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and Happy T-day
yes, great fun! :)
DeleteI love your concept of expanding your possibilities in the event you figure out anti-gravity. Maybe Dr. Who will come to tea and help you with that (grin). This was a FUN read, and I laughed throughout.
ReplyDeleteI took a photo yesterday of my thyme that has overwintered for three years in a pot. I hope your garden grows with splendor this year. I also only water my pots. I've NEVER watered my "flower bed." My thinking is, if it doesn't make it there, it doesn't belong there! Of course, I suspect you get a LOT more rain than we do. I remember last year when much of your city was under water. We, on the other hand, are in a drought zone.
Thanks for sharing this fun post for T today.
yes, sometimes we could use more rain around here, but it's never like the drought conditions i read about elsewhere.
DeleteI love that movie! Makes me want watch it again. Good summer rainy day idea...
ReplyDeletethat's a movie that i need to see again, definitely!
DeleteThat video clip put me in a good mood. Thanks, and Happy T Day!
ReplyDeletei'm glad it was a day-brightener :)
DeleteI loved that movie when I was young--so much fun! If you do figure out the anti-gravity thing....let me know and I'll stop by for tea! Hope you had a great day!
ReplyDeletei will! no tea on the patio on that day lol
DeleteYou have chosen one of my most favourite movies, which I grew up watching! thanks.
ReplyDeletei'm glad it brought back fond memories :)
DeleteHello and Happy T Day a day late!! I have never seen this movie so seeing it here was new and FUN for me. I'm afraid of heights so T on the ground is the only way I will have it. If not for that then I would love to have tea in the air!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and the smile this morning.
the movie isn't much like the book, but i like both! :)
Deleteoh so adorable idea! I love this movie and the tea party on the ceiling! of course it makes me giggle, which I'm sure is the idea...hope you had a happy T day, as I am visiting very late!
ReplyDeletei'm glad you liked it :) you can't be late for t tuesday, because it's still here no matter when you come lol
