Good Morning my friends! It’s very early here in the Secret Garden as I sip on my steaming cuppa tea. Today, I chose Taylor’s Apple & Cinnamon tea because I am also eating left over pumpkin bread I made for my Bible Study Ladies Friday. I thought the Autumnal flavors would be perfect for the…
Do you Remember The Tape On The Bottom Of The Casserole Dish? Ok a short explanation needed here. I have been working on decluttering…not just my closets but kitchen ‘extras’ too. Anyway, deep in my dish pantry, I re-discovered a stack of casserole dishes and as I placed them on my counter to determine which…
Dear friends,. seeing the sweet post from Nancy@ Two Trails One Road… with her mothering of monarch butterflies reminded me of my post in June of 2015 and the updated post of 2024, which is also linked below with even more detailed photos of the metamorphosis process of the black swallowtail butterfly and my…
Under The Tuscan Sun With A Tuscan Tablescape! Friends, I have been working on my old archives and trying to update a few, which some days make me go one step forward and two steps back, if you know what I mean. However, I remember this tablesetting well and I really enjoyed setting this table…
Autumn! Kansas Fowl And The Milo Fields! I have had this Spode dinnerware for years and like to bring them out in the Fall as it reminds me of Kansas, my home state. The Salad plates feature Pheasant, Grouse, Ducks and Quail, all of which are hunted in the Milo Fields and on ponds during…
August’s Whisper comes from Stardust Poetry and this pretty August poetry should probably come at the beginning of the month, but I wanted to use it for the ending of the Summer and the Beginning of Autumn…(even though I am really not ready for Autumn to begin), I wanted to use the softer colors in…
Potpourri: A mixture of unrelated things gathered together. Well, that kinda explains this post as I will be discussing a myriad of things today. AND one of the things I will be discussing is the meaning of words…as you know I like to read and every now and then I come across a word I…
Dear ones…August has arrived here in SW Florida and it is definitely the peak of the season…as the sweet Georgia peaches are almost gone from our local Farmer;s Markets, which saddens me a bit because I know that the twilight of Summer is upon us. Autumn is just around the corner and that signifies harvest,…
My dear sweet friends….I would like to share something that I experienced this past week-end. As I am sure you have noticed, I have quoted song lyrics from time to time in a few of my posts; I do love music and I do love singing…I guess I take it literally when the Psalmist said:…
I do love the color pink…and last Friday was…well it was a pink day. It started with the early morning drive to the airport…the Captain was going to deliver another new airplane only this time to Japan….and the early morning sky was pinkish. What is the old saying? Red sky in the morning, sailor take…
I almost forgot to do a Sunday Fashion…My blog was giving me fits, I couldn’t comment, nor could you but hopefully it is fixed. Also the Captain delivered a new airplane to Pakistan which had me a little concerned because of the unrest over there. I put him in God’s care 🙏🏻 and praise God…
Good Morning my friends…It is very hot here in Florida and I started a post using the above title…”Summertime, and the living is easy” and I got to thinking…which can be a dangerous thing…LOL! I thought I had used that very same title a few years back and sure enough, 7 years ago I…
