Can someone tell me why this combo tastes so good? Is it my genetics? Is it the balance of flavors?  I poured Sophie’s pepper sauce over all and it’s perfect. 

Ok…it’s March and punkins haven’t been chunked. 

Met on Sunday to launch. 

I’ve been sick so Sophie had the most strength. 

Heave ho. 

Pretty tough old dudes, even at their age. 

More signs of spring

All the yellow blooms are gone and now the purple berries 

Tulips at Highland Village 

I love violets. I transplanted these from our Riverwood house. They drove Dad crazy getting into the grass 

We call this ridin dirty. She loves to roll in the leaves. 

Caught Sandy in good lighting. 

Can you tell it’s St. Patrick’s day?

Corned beef in the crockpot. 

Mom’s friend Father Frank brought his Irish flag for her to display. What do you think of her new digs? I’ll post more when it’s all done. 

Gold bug

Spotted this pretty gold bug today. Trying out my new phone camera. 

❤️ Book Club

Pam had us over for February Book Club. She left her decorations up for us to enjoy. 

She keeps this little tree seasonal. 

A weeping pussywillow

Bedroom tree. 

Beautiful table. 

Food from Tuk Tuk Boom. My favorite Thai. We read The Lost Bookshop. We all loved it. 

The yard

Conditions must have been right for bulbs.  Jonquils blooming like crazy. 

Brought some in before the storm. 

Even a few yellows. 

Rain brought a few sweet shrooms. 

So tiny and delicate. 

Sandy came home freshly washed from the vet. She had curls above her tail. 

42nd 5

Last day. I convinced Ed to try the Midtowner on our way out of town. 

After a 30 minute wait, we sat down. 

I thought it was great. Ed was not impressed. 

One of the fun parts of a trip is coming home and putting your purchases in place. Can’t wait to burn my candle. 

Ed really wanted a cutting board. 

Need to get a flank steak on there quickly !

The Adam Trest frogs look right at home. Time to go pick up my girls (dog girls). 

42nd 4

I texted my Hattiesburg experts and asked “best bbq in Hattiesburg?”. Paul immediately texted back Strick’s. I had already it pulled up on my computer. 

Cute place right near our hotel.

Best brisket sandwich ever.
