Simple + Southern Sunday No. 279

March 8, 2020~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Granddaughter, Outdoors, Simple + Southern Sunday

 

“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90:12‬

Winter sunrise on Weiss Lake. It’s crappie time. Pronounced crop’-ee, or crap’-ee, (along with a few others) depending on your personal preference.

We thought we’d call this… “on the verge!” Our snowball viburnum blooms off and on year round but it’s most “showy” time is coming soon!

So much rain this winter and the moss loves it. It appears reproduction is getting underway and there will soon be a lot of spores. We aren’t moss experts but this might be what is called wall screw moss? It can be found on brick, stone, rooftops and soil is our understanding. Maybe some of you experts can help us out on this one!

And some things like this Bradford pear are no longer on the verge but quite “showy” already!

Emma K was caught in the act of attempting to sneak off with her Da’s Coke Zero! She wrestled it from under a cabinet. You have to wonder what she was thinking of doing with something this big that weighs about a third as much as she does!

 
The little bunny is one of several we had on display, but this one was made by Nanny (Pam’s Mother). When Ella Mae found out who made it, she insisted on holding only this little rabbit!

From the wood fired oven and likely straight to the waistline!

It’s nice to have several good lookouts to keep watch for predators while most of the flock enjoys a leisurely lunch!

Japanese Magnolias are such early bloomers with many in our area blooming last month. This particular one is still looking great especially against such a clear blue background! We planted one last fall but thanks to our local deer herd it is no longer a part of our landscape! 

Another gorgeous closing of the day. A small plane passed through and was in several pics we made of this sunset. We almost used one of those for fun to see if you could find it, but changed our minds as it was truly very hard to see! 

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

    Spring has sprung at your house. We are having some warm days, thank goodness, and that big pile of snow in the front yard is slowly disappearing. The princesses are so precious and I think EK wants some of Da’s coke. God is so good.

    Good morning, Pam. Glorious pictures as always. Goodness, little Emma is looking more like her Daddy every day. And she had plans for that bottle of coke. Ella is looking like such a little lady and she shows her tender heart wanting to hold the bunny, just precious. Spring is so wonderful in all parts of our world, but it is truly glorious in the south. Have a beautiful day and week ahead, dear friend.❤

    Beautiful Sunday post with the promise of spring blooming everywhere or on the “verge.” Cannot believe the sweet Emma. Ella Mae shows her sweet heart in many ways. I did miss the ear bobs today. What a delightful family. Enjoying thinking about and applying your word “delight” to my life.

    Pam, The Japanese Magnolias are so pretty and your picture is gorgeous! So sad that the one you planted didn’t make it because of the deer. Ours is not that large but it is blooming too. We, too, planted a tree last fall that the deer decided they wanted as a food source. Spring is such a colorful season; it’s a feast for the eyes & a favorite of mine! Emma Kennedy had plans for Da’s Coke! She looks like Seth & her hair is really ginger against your cabinets. Sweet Ella Mae is so cute with the bunny your Mom made. She is so sentimental and that’s a unique quality in today’s world! I really enjoyed the compilation of pics. We have had an entirely sunny weekend for a change & it’s wonderful! Rain comes in tomorrow. Have a wonderful day! Clara ❤️

    I always know spring is on the way when I see the Japanese magnolia burst with blooms. For years the same one has been my harbinger. Because I like the blooms I had one planted in our yard, but for some reason it didn’t flourish.

Stunning Sunday photos for this last sunny day of the week for us…I keep telling myself that Mother Nature is going to reward us with really beautiful flowers this Spring and hopefully no drought this summer because of these ample Spring rains ☔️ Have a lovely Sunday Pam & Butch,

    The beautiful sunrise and sunset photos give pause in wonder and gratitude for God’s exquisite gifts. EM and Ella fit into that category, as well. The emergence of your Spring’s blossoming is so uplifting. Our many Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom and the blanket of apricot-hued quince warms the garden. Thank you, Lord, for Spring, at last.

    Dear friend, spring wants to come in and despite the fact that the weather is not ripe yet she insists, pushes and in a very short time she will achieve it and will make our day with her best colors and beauty.
    Speaking of beauties: Emma and Ella Mae. They are two girls who are more beautiful every day. They are very pretty.
    Emma challenging the Coca bottle that is almost as big as her … and she Mae always with that sweet smile … I love them.
    Thank you for showing all that makes us happy.

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.

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. 

For more of my Daddy’s story, click the link in my bio.

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!

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.

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!
