Southern Stroll

I took a nice stroll through the yard on this incredibly beautiful day. The low was 45 and it warmed up to a glorious 72! Here is what is going on in my yard today:

First stop, the porch. A red tablecloth and a few fall items are ready for us.

    What brand of red wine did you use in this recipe? We’ve had this dish served at dinner parties and it was delicious. The hostess gave me her recipe but it was one of those recipes with a zillion ingredients. Would like to try yours. Do you serve it over rice or noodles?

    This recipe sounds fantastic! I’ve been looking for some good slow-cook recipes, thanks so much for posting this!

    And I love your rusty fence kids! Beautiful!
    All the best,

    love your rusty kids they are too cute !
    Everything looks so fallish ~ hugs, Cherry

    Hello Christi, your table is very festive and aren’t you lucky to see some fall color already. Are the birds real? I wonder if your rose is the last rose of summer. The kids on the fence are fun. The recipe sounds great.

    Hugs…Jeanne

    Hey Y’all. Just popping in. Gotta let you know that the birds on the table are not real. They are one of my favorite decorations for my outdoor table. That is where they live most of the year. They keep watch over the bird feeder and the bird bath in the yard 🙂

    Love your pictures. I was just noticing today how sharp the shadows are this time of year. Maybe it’s because we’ve got sun for the first time in many days.
