Marvellous Moon & Tantalizing Tulips....

 Had my dear friend Devon and her lovely husband over for dinner on Saturday night....


I captured these photos of the nearly 3/4 Moon...


Aren't they awesome???


I have never gotten such great pictures of the Moon before...

Must be...

My new...

Fabulous...

Camera!!!  

We had a lovely evening and meal...

And no bad reactions from Mark...who is Celiac...I love the challenge of cooking for him...

Very satisfying when you can accomodate someones challenging food "do's and don'ts"... 


Devon brought me a bunch of gorgeous ruffled parrot Tulips...

Pink and lime green....BEAUTIFUL!!!!

They found a home in my "Boot" planter...also lime green... 

They are still pretty tightly closed...

I moved them to my hall table...out of the Sun...

That way...

They will last a looooong time...

Thanks Devon....again...I love them....  

 












Made a centerpiece with cool peachy mini-carnations and bright yellow roses...

All in my vintage green bowl...









Hope you all had a great day...

Nice and Sunny...but still a nipply wind...




     On the menu tonight...

            BBQ'D Salmon Filet...marinated in Jamaican spices...

                    Bok Choy...Brussell Sprouts...Home Fries...








Enjoy the rest of your evening...

                                    Cheers! :o)

  1. Beautiful, beautiful photos Linda! I love those moon shots. The flowers are gorgeous and look so pretty on your dining table as a centerpiece. Our snow is gone, rain on the way and warmer weather in a day or two. I think spring is coming.

  2. I have a friend who has Celiac. She thinks she has had for years but was not diagnosed until about 5 years ago. She is a teeny tiny woman, about 4 1/2 feet tall and weighs about 85 pounds. She knows now that she was malnourished for many, many years.
    I think it is nice that you went and made a special meal for him. Most people with Celiac have to bring their own food.

  5. Nippy wind, yes. But I'll take the sunshine. :)

    Love the moon shots! I'm taking your lead and bringing daffodils inside to enjoy.

    I'm going back to my gluten-free diet too. My joints and muscles are complaining again.

    1. Yes....the sunshine was lovely...
      There were a few Daffodils in bloom at the cottage yesterday...I was tempted to make a bouquet...but...then I forgot!! hahaha!
      Does the gluten-free help your joints??? I did not know that!

  7. Awesome moon photos. I was out taking some last night, but today is cloudy so not sure about tonight.
    I tried sending you email twice yesterday (about obedience/obedient plant) but they both bounced back for some reason.
