Rainy-day tablescape

Today, we are having the first rain of the season in southern California. Baking is one of my favorite rainy day activities. I went to my orchard, picked apples, and made apple crisp. My house smells divine. What could be better than warm apple crisp and ginger chai on a rainy day?


Variegated figs compliment the garden mums in the centerpiece.




There is something comforting about these handle-less mugs. It is nice to wrap your hands around the warm mug and sip tea on a chilly day.





Ginger chai feels good on a rainy day!



Tomorrow's post is about this irresistible  apple crisp.

I am joining Susan's Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday and Color Outside the Lines for Vignette Friday.
