My Daughter and My Camera

JT's (family Border Collie) tennis ball


A beautiful clear summer day in South Louisiana



My favorite rusted candelabra

A chair on back patio

Our front door....I wish she would have swept first!

Winter is leaving....and not too soon!

This year in the South, UGLY MAN WINTER has been long and cold...

for us anyway.
We can count the number of pretty days on one hand...

but...

that seems to be ending.

This weekend, everyone worked in their yards,

spruced up the outside,

had grills going,

and watched the trees BUD!

YEA! Spring is coming to the South....

and it can't get here quick enough.

What's your favorite season?

drip, drip, drip...

In the South, weekend mornings are lazy...

Every Saturday morning growing up (and most Saturdays today),

we spent the entire morning on Mother's (grandmother) back porch...

drinking coffee, gossiping, and just being together...

The coffee served was from Mother's drip pot...

there's truly no other coffee like it...

it's strong with a little sugar added while brewing...

poured in a demitasse,

and served with loving hands...

What do you remember of weekend mornings growing up?

Life is Beachy

Today was a beach day....

Unfortunately, I didn't go to the beach LITERALLY...

but I did in my mind.

While at the spa, I let my mind take to me to my happy place...

where all is calm...

where all is warm...

where all is beachy.

Do you have a happy place?

We would love to hear...

Finding Comfort....

Why is it we tend to find comfort in old things?

So many are drawn to items which bring them back...

to a time of yesteryear...

to a time when we stopped to appreciate life...

to a time when family meant being together at home....

to a time when Sundays were lazy days...

...your grandmother's coffee cup

...a weaved basket of wildflowers

...a black and white photo

What brings you back?

coffee talk

mmmmmm....

there's nothing better than the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the morning...

join us each morning with your favorite cup of java...

for us...it's cafe au lait

what's your favorite?
