There is so much beauty in a Texas sunrise!
I absolutely LOVE the vibrant color of green
in early spring!
Everyone gets a bounce in their step and thoughts
turn toward new garden plants and accessories!
A new garden flag in my new colors
for spring...deep purples and yellows!
The azaleas are particularly beautiful this year!
They always bring me back to Mother and Daddy's
yard in Jackson....and our home in Dothan....
we had beautiful and bountiful azaleas!
I have been in love with these Mexican Pottery Sun Faces
for a long time.
I came across this one at Home Goods down in Austin...
One of our chores this spring is to freshly stain our fence,
so when that's done...I will find the perfect place to display her!
One of my favorite coffee table books
from former Southern Living at Home Hostess days.
I must buy some tulips this weekend......
It's the perfect time to find new Spring recipes....
I am planning a spring brunch....
French Toast with Caramel Apples
Potato Fritata
Waffle Napoleons
Wild Rice Quiche
Kiss My Grits
Now here's a fabulous treat for your springtime breakfast....
ever since my waffle maker went kaput,
I have occasionally craved a hot yummy waffle for breakfast!
These Thick and Fluffy Belgian style Eggo waffles are divine!

You know you want one........
As far as baking day on a spring afternoon........
how about an old fashioned Butter Cake!!
What are your plans for this Spring day?
Its still cold here but we've had sunshine for a few days in a row, so I am in the spring state of mind! I need a good tidying up around here this weekend (we've had company and have been out and about), so I am thinking of some fresh flowers!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you Deanna...I know winter must have to be on it's way out soon.....your home is lovely in the spring and summer! Picnics on the deck are probably in your near future! Have a great weekend!
DeleteLove that salad from your previous post. :) Oh Mae looks so cozy in the sunbeams at the door. I buy those waffles for my granddaughter Emma when she is spending the night over here. She loves them. I adore those sun faces too. Hope your day is filled with fun. I may ask Ted to go to lunch, after all my household chores...ever feel that it's in-ending? :):)lssings you xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh what a good grandmother you are Susie! I know those waffles taste better to her at your dining table! They are divine! A lunch date sound like a perfect afternoon on this March day. Enjoy! Have a lovely weekend!
DeleteDon't you just love Spring. My grands are visiting and have had the best time with the weather and everything bursting in color. I love your photos! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful Susan...I know y'all are busy and having a wonderful Spring break! Have a grand time!
DeleteBetsy... now you really made me homesick for Texas!! I plan on staying home in my house because it is freezing here. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate Katie...I remember talking with the boys while living in Maine and we had snow in April, yet was a gorgeous spring day in Texas! Atlanta will warm you up! Have a great time!
DeleteGirl, you were reading my mind! I just baked a Gooey Butter Cake! It smelled devine...
ReplyDeleteOh honey..yes....Gooey Butter Cake is divine! Enjoy!!!
DeleteLouis Dean has planted a garden and I feel the need to go out and dig in the dirt myself!!
ReplyDeleteI do so wish I had a big slice of that butter cake right this very minute!! I will search your blog! I'm certain you have shared that recipe!!
You can Linda....or just use a mix....just so good! Looks like you had a ball at the ranch! Glad you got to go...too bad you're not down there today and this gorgeous spring day!
DeleteI'm looking forward to Spring returning to our area. It's quite chilly today. It's nice to see what's to come. I made Artisan Bread and a chocolate pie today. Just perfect for warming up the kitchen. Have a great afternoon. ♥
ReplyDeleteOh Martha Ellen....I know your house must smell divine! Perfect for chilly spring day! Thank you for visiting today and sharing your corner of the world. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteContenting myself with watching the birds and tending to my dad today. I made him Shrimp Pea Wiggle for lunch. He was pleased...something my grandmother would have made for him. Now that butter cake looks like something yummy for sure. I also like to have frozen waffles in the house. Comfort food!
ReplyDeleteWell Vee...you've stumped me! I have never on earth heard of that dish????? Must do some research now. Hope he is doing well and that you are enjoying the day!
DeleteHi Betsy. I loved this post---the promise of growth and green Spring days. We are preparing for some FREEZING RAIN tonight. lol We cannot plant outside here until June 1st! Before that we risk freeze or killing frost. Our summers are so short. I love that you have pretty things blooming already. Hope you have a great upcoming weekend. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYou are just a love Diana...thank you! I think we all feel refreshed when Spring arrives...I hope y'all warm up very soon. The gorgeous weather beckons you to stay outside and just be thankful for the day! I wish you a great weekend also!
