They talked and talked till the sun couldnt penetrate the thick lucious trees anymore. So they pack up their lunch and start to get up from the table.

Kathryn Age: adult Coulee Dam, Wa. May 22, 2009 at 6:59 AM 6.When I was younger I walked home from school everyday. The walk was long but I didn't mind because I got to walk through the park and it was beautiful. Every day at the same time, at the same place there was a woman sitting at a table drinking tea. She always wore the same hat and beautiful, elaborate dresses. After months of walking past her and wondering why she was alone I got up the courage to say hello. She asked my name and invited me to have tea with her. So for the past 5 years I have enjoyed this wonderful outing every day. jessica17 Age: 17 Moses Lake/ Washington May 7, 2009 at 12:11 PM 7.What I think the artist is thinking of is a mother is telling her daughter the rights of passage to becoming a women. Also the little girl is trying to listen intently but being a little girl she is daydreaming and looking around the world to see new things. They are relaxing outside drinking tea on a nice sunny day but they are in the shades of the trees speaking of what mothers say to their daughters. In my opinion this is just a mother to daughter talk with no men just a girls day out. mother to daughter Age: 17 Moses Lake WA May 1, 2009 at 1:58 PM 8.my mothers scolding of today was the worst i had had. we went out for tea in the garden like usual but then i did what i should have not. i bow my head in shame as i try to hide my tears. i try to be a lady but i don't know if i can. i listen to my mothers scold as if it is the last thing that i will hear. and in a way that makes her disapointment so much worse than what she ment it to be. i love my mother but not when she scolds. it hurts me inside. dem Age: 18 moses lake, WA May 1, 2009 at 1:58 PM 9.Nicole and her mother were sitting outside in her mothers beautiful backyard.

Her daughter has a kindergarden crush that she is so eager to see, & her mother is greatly against it because she is the princess and this boy is not good enough for her standards. student22 Age: 16 moses lake, washington May 1, 2009 at 8:01 AM 16.A small girl and a women are seated in a garden setting having tea. The child looks like she is unhappy and the woman (her mother?) is counseling her. Perhaps the child wishes she could go play but her mother doesn't want her to get dirty since they are both dressed up. Maybe the child is pouting and refusing to eat. The gray in the forground looks like a concreate wall and behind the figures are paths leading towards walls or a building or bars in the background. The child looks trapped beneath the very formally dressed woman hovering over her. I wish she could run away and play in the garden. Marilyn Age: 57 Spokane, Washington April 28, 2009 at 11:58 AM 17.A little girl and who I think is her Mother are in a courtyard garden - it looks like a courtyard because you don't see any open passage in the image (you see vegetation, walls, windows from a house). The girl and the woman are sitting by a table with food (bread? pie?) and tea (teapot, teacups). They are turned away from the table. The little girl is in a shorter chair that does not allow her to reach the top of the table while sitting. To me, it looks like the little girl may be upset about something. Her face is down and her arms are folded across her lap. The Mother is looking down at the girl. She looks comfortable and relaxed; her arm is draped across her lap, legs are crossed under her skirt. She looks to be comforting the little girl. Below them on the ground it looks like there could be a piece of pie. Perhaps the little girl dropped the pie and feels bad about this, and the mother is comforting her. The way the little girl looks, it makes me want to give her a big hug. Karen Age: adult Spokane, WA April 24, 2009 at 12:01 PM 18.Eileen was praying with her mom. They had been having a tea party and they were feeling so lucky to be in such a beautiful garden. They wanted to pray to Heavenly Father to tell him thank you for the beautiful garden. When they were done praying, they talked about all the different flowers. Eileen's favorite flowers were the lilies, especially the white ones. Her mom's favorites were the tulips. She loved the pink ones. When they were all finished, they went back home. Eileen felt good the rest of the day. She was happy to have been with her mom. Ginger Age: 5 Washington April 8, 2009 at 3:41 PM 19.Could the woman be looking at her daughter and thinking of a time when she too was small and just beginning her journey into life? A time when everything was brand new and full of promise like the spring which appears to be unfolding all around them. Dorothy Age: 50+ Idaho Falls, ID April 8, 2009 at 2:05 PM
