Simple + Southern Sunday No. 208

 “Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:1‬ ‭

  After a clear start to the morning, a fog rolled in off the river and created a most unusual glow!

  The fog continued drifting west, diffusing the light to create a beautiful start to our day.

  The leaning tower of pumpkin!

  Maybe another member of the eat more chicken movement!

  This is our prettiest and most favorite “pumpkin”.

  The Sunshine Ligustrum refuses to be only a summer standout as it now takes on autumn gold!
   We think everybody was “under the boardwalk”. Such a nice day to have this all to yourself for a few minutes.

  Now this is the way to get ready for winter. The cows next door are happy to see this!

The  Yellowstone Lake Hotel is over 125 years old and has seen countless visitors including U S Presidents!

  Architecture on the Coosa! We never tire of the beauty along the river.

 

” Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”.
Hebrews 13:8

    Cotton bolls for floral arrangements are in fashion I read. Guessing you don’t have to go far to find them.
    Our town is surrounded by cows, it’s dairy country (also timber country) here. Hay is much in demand for areas affected by drought, further out. That has pushed the price up.

      Thank you Cath. We have three pastures that are cut for hay, but no cows. Cotton is an abundant crop, and it is so pretty in the fields.

        Do you have to remove weeds that can poison stock, or do the tenants do that?

        The farmer who cuts the hay is responsible for that.

    Your early morning photos with the fog and your sweet little “punkin” are among my favorites this week. I’m so thrilled it’s cool, I’m doing the Happy Dance! It took me 4 weeks of 12 hour days, but I finally got my MIL packed, moved from FL, unpacked, and in her new independent living apartment. I’m going to do some serious fall cleanout at my own home now and get rid of excess “stuff”! Blessed Sunday, Pam.

    Beautiful pictures Pam. The mist from the river is so pretty. Surreal. Just how far do you live from the river? Miss Ella Mae is very picturesque and I love seeing her. The pictures you share with us are going to be wonderful to look back on in years to come. Now that cotton field is a blessing to the farmer that planted it and another one because I don’t have to,pick it.

    Such beauty for us to enjoy Pam. I love seeing the barn stocked with hay, the calf, the cotton fields, the Coosa River..all of it. Ella Mae is just so beautiful with those long eyelashes and sweet smile. She seems so grown up. Cherish every moment with her. I remember you said once if we don’t see beauty all around us, we just aren’t paying attention. Coming home from church Bob was talking about our beautiful mountains and I quoted you for the zillionth time. Every post is a masterpiece. We are grateful for you.

    Your Sunshine Lagustrums are stunning.

The table is enhanced by views toward the mountain, woodlands, and the large Snowball Viburnum. The verdant rye grass appears as a green carpet that has been spread for Easter! Vintage Fitz and Floyd ‘Herb Garden’ teapots, sugar and creamer, and oval tray are suited for springtime with their embossed bows, vegetables, and words. A bouquet of Kwanzan Cherry blossoms add more spring color to the setting. 

I am serving a simple teatime with Earl Grey tea, savory egg salad filled phyllo cups, and sweet vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese icing, and macarons! A favorite cottage rose tablecloth and Essential napkins are by April Cornell.

We are most blessed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, being the source of new life, yet new life that is eternal. The beauty of this spring will again give way to another autumn in a few months, but the significance of His empty tomb will never change!

Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our Happy Thursday! I love setting a table next to our woodlands and this is the first one of the season, an Easter/Spring table! I love all the sweet bunny decorations, but Easter is so much more. We celebrate Easter because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  His bodily resurrection enables all those who choose to follow Him to have assured victory over our greatest enemy…death!

 I look forward each year when some of my favorite blooms display their amazing beauty in our garden. Snowball viburnum in its full glory with large creamy white blooms. Climbing Lady Banks Rose is covered in hundreds of miniature yellow blooms cascading to the ground. An old-fashioned Bridal Wreath Spirea with its branches arching to the ground in a fountain-like growth habit is loaded with showy double white flowers in clusters of three to six that resemble a bride’s wreath. I still claim the Kwanzan Cherry tree even though it is now on our son’s property. Its ruffled pink double pink blossoms are some of my favorite blooms. All four of these blooms make up an arrangement with a few tulips from the grocery store. 

A fluffle of moss bunnies hopped up to the picnic table. A ‘Charming’ tablecloth with  Mary Lake-Thompson napkins and Williams Sonoma enchanting ‘Famille Rose’ bunny plates!

I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on m I often shared my sweet Daddy and his stories on my blog. My precious Daddy passed away peacefully on March 26th at the age of 94, surrounded by his beloved family! He was born during the depths of the Great Depression. That may have been part of the reason he was always content and loved the simple things. 

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1

After high school graduation he signed to play professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians Organization. His baseball career was cut short when he was drafted in the army. He was seriously wounded in the Korean War and was awarded a Purple Heart and two bronze stars. Upon returning home, he married my beautiful Mother and they shared 54 wonderful years together before she passed away suddenly. 

My brother and I grew up in a Christian home, bathed in love, calm, security, and contentment, under the care of the two finest parents anyone could have. Daddy was known as Pawpaw to his three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. 

My heart is broken, he was the best Daddy a girl could have. I know he is present with the Lord and I rejoice in that promise, knowing too, that my Mother is also in the eternal presence of our Heavenly Father.

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition Welcome to Sunshine Cottage and the March edition of Tea on Tuesdays. My inspiration for teatime is the beautiful linens from @april.cornell With the celebration of their 50th anniversary, many Heritage Prints from the archives have returned. Eden is one of the beautiful patterns that has returned. It is a soft purple paradise where butterflies float, roses bloom, and soft sage leaves levitate. As an April Cornell Brand Ambassador, I was gifted these gorgeous linens! I have been a collector of @april.cornell linens for many years…the floral patterns resonate with my love of English Country. 

I am serving my favorite, Earl Gray tea, from an Eileen’s Reserve teapot. Teacups by Grace Teaware and vintage Rose Chintz salad plates by Johnson Brothers add more floral patterns to the mix. Japanese Magnolia blooms were cut from my garden and placed in a lilypad teapot!

Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold Happy first Monday of February! After so many cold days, we are experiencing a tease of spring with a 73 degree day that is forecast. After the gray and cloudy days, I needed a dose of color and decided to set a colorful citrus themed brunch! Using a bird gold and pewter stand, I mixed a citrus medley of lemons, oranges, and limes with pink and white carnations as the centerpiece. The table is highlighted with blue and white dishware. Fresh squeezed orange juice, French-pressed coffee and sweet treats of lemon poppyseed muffins, lemon cake with lemon icing, and lemon pastries are perfect for a small brunch. A faux lemon topiary belonged to my beloved Mother and seemed a perfect addition to a citrus-themed table!

I love the traditional colors of red and pink! Frilly carnations fill a vintage Staffordshire, ‘Charlotte’ pitcher which rests on an antique Limoges plate with a velvet gold-crowned heart. The plate stack consists of a Royal Stafford ‘Asiatic pheasant’ dinner plate, American Atelier ‘Baroque’ luncheon/salad plate, Johnson Brothers, ‘Winchester’ salad plate, and a vintage pierced Bavarian rose plate! I am a huge fan of mixing colors, patterns, and textures for a collected look.
