The Dogwood Is Blooming!

I was so excited to see this little tree finally blooming and more than one or two!  It is a few years old now and really has almost died yearly so this is a joy to see!

This was yesterday and it was very warm. Today we've had severe storm and tornado watches and warnings. Windy, goodness yes it's been windy!

Sharing a few pictures and the Legend of the Dogwood.

This n' That Mar 2022

Busy here planning and my the plans that are rolling around in my head!  Getting things transplanted into the garden is exciting.  You know I'm always cooking in this house and for the moment still doing that.  Just not the seven-course meals and trimming corners to save time (for planting) and money.  Gosh knows, we can all use some of that right? 

This quick post up and about to get back into the garden!

Hibiscus House Hydrangeas

Oh my goodness it's the first day of Spring!  This is my absolute favorite time of year!  Happy Spring Y'all!

I ran across many Hydrangea posts this morning.  These beauties always amaze me. It seems I've taken many pictures of them over the years. 

Yes, What They Said!

 

This describes how we are "To a T" There's another one "TO A T" and it means to Describe something perfectly or exactly right!

We do tend to protect and love our crazy people in the South, and if we can't find one we'll pretend we have one on call.
Join me today as we talk about it...

Simple Pound Cake

We love pound cakes around here and they can't be beat if you are using fresh eggs gathered daily from the hens.  The deep rich yellow yolks make the prettiest cakes for sure! 

This recipe is so old my card is stained but is still loved.  A family friend gave it to me many years ago. I call it our Carnation Milk Pound Cake.

It has a softer texture than our best-loved Sour Cream Pound but is still very delicious!  Add lemon flavoring along with the vanilla and it will bring back old-time memories at grandmas' I'll bet!
