These lovely ladies hitched a ride in my shopping cart the other day and have found themselves hanging out in my newly opened Florida Room. This time of year is soooo hard for me. We have this great Florida Room that is only useable about 2/3 of the year. When March rolls around and that first warm spring day hits, so does the itch to open her up and clean her out! Well, it isn't completely free of its winter storage stash, but we have carved out enough places to hang and play for now. My new favorite spot is this wood card table I bought at Target so that we could have a place to eat, play and hang-out. The kids are already in love with it,too, and have eaten several meals there.
While taking this photo I was treated to the coo-OO-oo of the mourning doves outside the window. Am I the only one who hears this sound and immediately thinks of the intro to the Christy television series of the 1990s? My little Appalachian-ancestry-heart just loves that show. And listening to the rain falling all around, thunder rolling, makes me wish I could just walk into one of those episodes and never walk out.
This is a quick little yummy I whipped up after lunch today. On occassion I pick up the Food Network TV magazine at the grocerer's. The current issue is to-DINE-for and the recipe (though that is really a loose term in this case) for Sopaipillas with Chocolate sauce is featured on page 152, if you are interested. I substituted a bottle of sugar free hot fudge sauce for their chocolate sauce. Oh-my-gosh! Yum.
Surrounded by green everywhere I look, the creative juices are starting to loosen up and flow again. Currently I am planning another cutter quilt pillow like the one here, this time for my bedroom. Hoping to update it with a little more color and cuddly goodness. So it is back to the inspiration board for me while I allow Mother Nature to serenade me a little longer.
