Simple + Southern Sunday No. 278

March 1, 2020~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Simple + Southern Sunday

“Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90:1-2‬ ‭

It was good to see some sun this week. The sun is now about 1/3 of the way on the trek toward the summer solstice, its appearance a little further north each day!

“Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭89:5‬ ‭

Plenty of water in the Ocoee River last week. The historic flume that winds along the mountainside above the river is over 100 years old!

Abundant rain and even a little snow melt in this case energizes a beautiful waterfall!

And speaking of energy…

Probably stood in the shadows of these woods for a long time!

French toast with lemon curd and blueberry compote. Low calorie ? Not a chance!

Just a neat pic…what can we say!

The outcast and maligned dandelion may be a real aggravation and ugly sight to serious lawn folks. But to give credit where it is due, they are resilient survivors even if they “don’t get no respect!”

 

An ever-changing afternoon last week brought us yellow, purple, pink, red and then orange, all in the span of about 5 minutes!

The reflection off the clouds seemed to paint our trees red-orange!

And this tells the story of all the late afternoon colors. God’s creation never disappoints and is new every day. A wonderful part of our everyday living!

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

    I enjoy your everyday living. So true, that God’s creation never disappoints! The sunsets this week have been glorious even though I see them through the trees at my house.

    Ella Mae is dressed up with her ear bobs! She is getting more beautiful everyday. I would love to read Sister’s mind!

    Dear Pam, where to I begin to comment on your beautiful photos? I can’t select a favorite today. But I can tell you the ones which tug at my heart. The dear church against the blue, blue sky, I don’t have proper words. And you know I always love the girls, they are beyond precious. When Emma begins to walk you will most likely need a really good pair of sneakers. I am always happy to see dandelions as it is the first food for the bees in the spring. And you know I think you have a magic touch in capturing glorious sunsets. I could go on and on, but it would be too much for you to read. Wishing you and your lovely family a beautiful day. ❤

    you believe it is March? The snow shots are so pretty; the church and the pine tree. The river and waterfall are really moving the water along! The last two shots are gorgeous! The girls are so cute! Ella Mae with her earrings is adorable. Happy Sunday to you both! Clara ♥️

    Your post today takes us on a glorious whirlwind. I’m hungry, worn out thinking about keeping up with the two princesses, and giggling because of the “ear bobs” Miss EM is sporting, and thinking about the old building in the woods and what and who did what there. Also a show of Spring because of the dandelions blooms, knowing this is the first food the majestic honey bees have after a long Winter. God is great!

    What a great pictorial essay of your week! Hopefully, Pam, your own energy level is restored enough to at least keep up with your miniature bundles of energy. EM’s earrings are perfect with her outfit, while EK is looking for a way to sneak around. 😉 And no truer words could be said about the resilience of the dandelion! They are amazing. I’m loving the sun’s journey to the more northern position. Happy March!

    Dear friend, you show us a wonderful nature, which every day surprises us with its colors and lights.
    The old barns have always impacted me. Those constructions that one day enjoyed good health in their forests and were useful for man … They are like helpless elders who patiently carry their old age … produce compassion for me …
    Those who are young in the highest sense of the word are their granddaughters. You have captured them in a beautiful photo, they are very beautiful.
    And I don’t want to finish without praising that plate full of calories that should be … mmmmmmmmmmm delicious!

    This week I did not edit the publication because I had jobs in the kitchen of my house. The heating boiler said that it was no longer working, so I had to install a new one and with the corresponding horror that the new installation differs from the previous one …

    A hug

    French toast with lemon curd? What a great idea to serve for company! The sunrises and sunsets all winter have been incredible. The snow on those boughs could be a Christmas card. I too love Bonnie’s “ear bobs”…that is what my father always called them.That is such a sweet shot of the sisters! Time change next weekend. It takes two weeks for my body to adjust, but I do love the extra light in the evenings.

Sarah Bernhardt was relocated last year and gave us some gorgeous blooms in spite of being moved. Several Spirea are in bloom as well as Clematis Jackmanii! What is blooming in your garden?

Mother had the gift of hospitality and shared it with everyone. Karl Rosenfield peonies from my garden fill a treasured keepsake pitcher handed down from my grandmother! A beautiful floral April Cornell ‘Lillianna’ tablecloth and Famille Rose salad plates elevate the status of the old picnic table next to our woodlands. I have collected bejeweled enamel trinket boxes for many years and shared a few on the table for whimsy and fun. For memories of my Mother, click the link in my profile.

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!

Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluf Welcome to Sunshine Cottage where I have been fluffing for Valentine’s Day! For many years my Sweetheart and I have celebrated February 14th at home where it is quiet, no reservations are required, and we always have a table by the window! 

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. 

I have joined 17 table stylists for a Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. Click the LINK in my bio to see all of the Valentine inspiration!

Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I Happy Tuesday! On this very cold winter’s day, I am serving my favorite tea, Earl Grey, in the Sunshine Cottage where it is warm and cozy! The magic of dancing sunlight enhances the table that is dressed with a warm tartan plaid throw repurposed as a tablecloth! ‘Winter Fauna’ bird salad plates from Pottery Barn (many years ago and now discontinued) remind me of the birds I watch from my kitchen window during the winter season. The Grace Teaware set adds more blue and white to the Spode ‘Blue Room’ dinner plates. Sweet treats were placed on a stack of Bordallo Pinheiro plates! A darling Hummel ‘Icy Adventure’ depicts a scene of an outdoor frozen pond with a pair of sweet ice skaters, a rosy cheeked boy and girl who have fallen down on the ice. I am sharing Tea on Tuesdays with Shannon @bellebleuinteriors and Mary homeiswheretheboatis.net Link in my Bio will take you to my blog post! Stay warm and safe!
