Lazy Sunday scones, heavy on the elderberries, and a great start to the morning, buttered with jelly and served with some tea. Today is not a day to use heavy-handed words, so I will say scones, tea, butter, and jelly; kick back for the morning. Erin’s Elderberries provided the honey and elderberries. I hope you like it.
