Southern Tech Info
Okay, in my other life I am a tech-y and marketing girl. So, today, this Southern girl is going to give you a little tech info. You’ve probably already heard about it but, tomorrow, April 1st this awful computer virus called confliker is supposed to wreak havoc on everybody’s computers. We’ve seen these kind of…

Southern Plans
I visited Theresa over at Take A Sentimental Journey yesterday. She had the plot for her garden already plowed and was getting rid of the grass clumps. It was good to see that because that is what I have got to get done myself soon. My “seedlings” are now ready to plant outside whenever the…

Southern Frugal Friday
With the uncertain economy, we’ve all had to cut back (if you haven’t – lucky you!). I’ve collected a few tips for saving money that I use and am passing them along. I would love to hear what your favorite tips are! Grow a garden – this is a favorite. Save on all those great…

Southern Tablescape
Okay, here it is. My first entry in Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I set a table for Spring and you can find a lot of other inspirational pictures on Susan’s blog. Don’t miss her back porch transformation. I have a little secret for setting my table. I can’t…

Southern Storms
It is storm season in the South again. We had a nice one come through yesterday. A lot of rain and wind with a little thunder and lightening thrown in. It wasn’t too bad. When I was a little girl, I was terrified of storms. I would get sick whenever the tornado sirens went off.…

Southern Lady Bug
Yesterday, after working at my computer all day, I finally got myself out to the back porch to read a little. I saw my first lady bug of the season. This was a little bitty one. The poor thing was crawling around on my table and kept getting itself turned upside down. Then it would…

Southern Spring!!!
It’s finally here – the 1st day of Spring. Okay, the weather has already been nice for a while but now it is official. I’ve got on my robin’s egg blue jacket and I’m ready. A lot of people have more energy when the weather is colder but give me a warm spring day and…

Southern Yellow Bird
2 days to Spring! Hope everyone had a happy St. Patrick’s Day. Mine was very busy. I am doing a 3 hour seminar on Friday on blogging and social media for businesses for the Arkansas Small Business & Technology Development Center. After I finished yesterday, I went out and sat on my back porch and…

Southern St. Patrick’s
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Hope you are wearing your green so you won’t get pinched. I remember as a kid people who didn’t wear green would say they were wearing green underwear so you wouldn’t pinch them. Didn’t you hate that? One of the biggest celebrations in the U. S. of St. Patrick’s Day is…

Southern Roses
This past weekend I planted a rose bush. At another home, I had 21 rose bushes. I love growing roses! It is really late to be planting in my zone (6b) but I found this rose bush on sale and couldn’t resist. It is a large bush rose. I’ve grown many of the mannerly tea…

Mama’s Southern Guest Post
A couple of days ago I posted a recipe that my mother gave me for poppy seed rolls. Mama called and was telling me about how she got the recipe and that she should leave that as a comment. I thought a better idea was for her to write a guest post. So . .…

Southern Cooking Legend
8 days til Spring! Yesterday, I was in my home office looking for one of my gardening books when I came across Mme. Begue’s Recipes of Old New Orleans Creole Cookery. I had forgotten having this little gem. It is copyrighted @1937. The price on the inside cover was .60 but it was marked out…

Southern Time
9 days to Spring! I must apologize to those of you who stop by early. As much as I love daylight saving time, it takes me awhile to adjust. It seems the older I get the longer it takes to adjust. When I was a kid I don’t remember taking any time. Anyway, as my…
