"American" Idol...whatever

I guess I was wrong about "American Idol" ~ I thought it was about the person with the "most" talent, not the person that "mostly" conformed to what "most" people perceive as an "American" Idol. So, as soon as I think this country is finally starting to step ahead toward equality, it takes two steps back. And not to belittle Kris Allen, he is crazy talented, too. Congratulations, Kris! But wow, what a show!!!! And speaking of "winners" ~ Lucky #2 {Jana} won the earrings from last week's post! Congratulations, Jana! And lucky for you, America didn't have to vote, or no telling who would have won :)And these awesome earrings "Horizon" are the give aways for next Wednesday! All you have to do to win them is comment on THIS blog post. Lita will be picking the lucky winner. Good Luck! And speaking of luck! Henry came back!!!!Henry is a giant rat snake that lives under my front steps. We thought he had gone away forever, since we haven't seen him in almost a year. And he came back just in the nick of time! The moles are having a field day in my gardens, so now Henry can, hopefully, take care of that problem, but he may need to invite friends. I never thought I would be "happy" about having a snake living under my steps, but when you see the damage moles can do, you welcome the snakes. Now I'm off to water plants ~ look what I found today:tiny little fuzzy peaches ~ and the tree is loaded with them :)

Happy Thrusday!!

Just Peachy!


We discovered two peach trees in our yard and they are full of little fuzzy baby peaches. I can't wait to sample them. A few other things that made me smile this week were these:

Garden fresh veggies, baked in the oven, grilled chicken breast, rice pilaf and this:


Fresh baked Sourdough bread & organic butter from the Farmer's Market and this for dessert:


Chocolate cake with coconut cream cheese icing, another Farmer's Market find and it was absolutely yummy! So all in all, it made a great looking dinner table:


And this morning I got up and made this:


Of course, it's right here in the shop, if you want to take a closer look – it's quite lovely…


….as are my "Peonies" – Happy Tuesday!!!

Xxxoo & peace always ~ Kathy

So I found a box of books {yes, I still have several unpacked boxes in the basement} and one of them is called "Women's Lip" and is full of funny & punny quotes from women, so I'll share them with you now and then and hope they make you giggle. The one today is on "exercise"
