Fajita chicken and beef grilled in the Pittmaster... DELICIOUS! Food always tastes better when someone else prepares it for you! I'm linking up to +Barb Brookbank's app...

Texture Tuesday Black and White Edition

Our patio is alive with "wildlife". The backyard looks so harmless out of the kitchen window. The grass is all cut and nice, flowers are growing...but if you sit, listen and watch it is a jungle out there! Chris calls it Wild Kingdom. The lizards have populated my garden and will venture out to my potted plants on the patio. They fight each other, try to charm the females and occasionally get snatched...

This Magic Moment...

I took this of my mandevilla on my front porch. It was so beautiful last year. The tendrils climbed all the way to the roof. Flowers are pretty amazing. How that little bit of pollen gets to the inside of the flower and sticks to the stigma is just short of a miracle. Mother Nature is a pretty cool chick. Canon Rebel EOS T3i, EFS 18-55mm lens, Macro settin...

“app” happy wednesday #4

We planted our front garden 12 years ago in April. I remember because I hosted my sister's baby shower and "had" to re-landscape our front yard for the party! This is my Pineapple Guava, my favorite. As long as I've had it, it has never produced fruit! I love the blooms though. Supposedly it requires 50 hours of winterchilling to fruit. We've certainly had that this crazy Louisiana winter, so maybe...

2+2=37

My Memaw turned 89 last week. We celebrated her birthday on Mother's Day with a family picnic. All of her children, most of the grandchildren and great grands were there. It was a good day, even with the few rain showers. I think we all had a good time! I wanted to make something she would enjoy, so I made her a folding album chock full of everyone's Facebook pictures. You can find the instructions...

Vintage Flashback!

I was born in 1969 so I was a 70's kid. Who remembers ponchos, huarches, braids, bell bottom jeans...and embroidered denim?! My Memaw is a pretty awesome seamstress. She could make anything, or at least that was what I thought! She made our clothes, dolls, dress up clothes, dance costumes, booster and cheerleading uniforms, quilts, blankets...we were well dressed. I can't remember if we got...
