Yesterday.....After the Rain...

       
    Is there anything so refreshing...

                  As the garden...

                After a fresh rainfall??

                             I think not...

                                             Enjoy!



















            As i write this post...the sky is as black as the ace of spades...

                                 More rain today???

              Perhaps yes......perhaps no...have to wait and see...

                        Miss V is well into her nap...she was pretty tuckered out...

             We will play by the pool...or go to the park...depending on the weather...

                        But for sure....

                 Some banana berry cake with fresh strawberries and yogurt on top!♥️ 


            Hope you are all having a great day...what's happening in your neck of the woods?

                  I have some boneless chicken cutlets soaking in buttermilk...

                Will roll them in Panko crumbs and roast 'til golden and crispy...

                        Some mashed potatoes, carrots and spinach alongside...

                                   Hope Miss V likes it!



                  Enjoy the rest of your day....

                                 I plan to...

            Thanks for all your lovely comments this week...much appreciated...

                I promise to post the bean salad recipe...soon...not much to it!

 Oh what the heck...

      Any can of beans...chick peas, romano, kidney beans whatever...at least 2 cans of something
       Drain and rinse...add red onion,green,red, yellow peppers..or whatever you have...
        Chopped celery...lots of cracked black pepper...
          I usually like to let it sit overnite...I use whatever salad dressing I have...
            Italian...roasted red pepper...anything with an oil base...add to taste...
              I usually add more just before serving....the beans absorb it well...
                 So.....as long as you have a can opener...and a few other things...
                     You are good to go...
                       You can also add a can of green beans and corn if you want...

                                          Bon Apetite!



                  There you go...for all who asked...

                           Cheers!  :o)

My Home Garden Missed Me..........






Arrived home late afternoon yesterday...

Spent 2 days at the cottage with my SIL...

We had rain, thunder,high winds...

But...

Also some sunshine..:o)

Many scrabble games...not sure I won any!

But..one thing I know for sure...

My home garden missed me...

And showed me how much...but welcoming me home with a lot of lovely blooms...

Will share a few with you today...

Enjoy!

Glad to be home...♥️

My Daisies were the happiest to see me...

Wanted to make a small bouquet...but resisted...will enjoy them today as well...

And...a lot more buds to open...

 

I had purchased this Fuschia planter for a steal...$5...and it is perfect! It is flowering profusely, and attracting the Hummers...just as I had wanted♥️...I have yet to capture a shot of one...but I will keep trying!!
White Yarrow just starting to bloom....so exquisite up close...and I like the feathery foliage..

The beginnings of the Purple Coneflowers...love this perennial...I believe I have white in the front garden...will take some pics out there this afternoon...lots happening there....


                                                         *******************

              Hope you are all having a great week...

                 Weather is very pleasant...humidity and rain gone!!

                             Back to the business of enjoying Summer.....

                                   Boyfriend back tonight...YAY!!!

                           Gonna make him one of his favorites...

                                 Roasted skinless panko crusted chicken thighs...

                                       I think some roast Yam slices and a Ceasar Salad...

                                 Sound good???


                     Enjoy the rest of your day...

                              I plan to!!
