A Southern Life

Southern Defense

Yes, today I am defending the oft maligned – mimosa tree!

The beautiful, fragrant, puffy pink clouds in the Mimosa Tree (sometimes called a silken tree) have gotten a bad reputation for some! Not me, I love those pink puffs. Some call it a “dirty” tree. What kind of silly name is that? Yes, it re-seeds prolifically. Yes it sheds a bit, but how can you resist those pretty pink puffs?

They remind me of my childhood and I look forward to seeing them every year! Those palm-like leaves just look so luscious amidst the pink fluff.

If you have them around, you know you can’t get rid of them (even if you are so misguided as to want to!).  They attract butterflies and hummingbirds galore!

Okay, so the fluff falls off and does make a bit of a mess. I have even read that some neighborhood associations ban these beauties! What do you think? I love them and always will.

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday and hope you are enjoying a

Today’s Lagniappe: Mimosas
You had to see this one coming 🙂

Today’s Lagniappe: Mimosas
Don’t forget the drinks. What fun to have champagne for breakfast!

Champagne
Orange Juice
Grand Marnier (or other orange liqueur)
Sugar
Strawberries for garnish

Pour a little Grand Marnier in a shallow saucer. Put a little sugar in another shallow saucer. Dip the rims of champagne flutes in the Grand Marnier and then in the sugar. Fill the champagne flutes halfway with champagne and the fill the rest of the way with orange juice, add a splash of Grand Marnier. Cut a slit in a strawberry and place on the rim of the flute if desired for garnish.

Enjoy!

    Great blog post. A few things i would like to bring up is that computer memory needs to be purchased when your computer still cannot cope with whatever you do along with it. One can put in two RAM boards with 1GB each, for instance, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should check the manufacturer’s documentation for own PC to make certain what type of memory is required.

    One more thing I would like to say is that rather than trying to fit all your online degree classes on times that you complete work (as most people are worn out when they return), try to receive most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only a couple courses on weekdays, even if it means taking some time away from your weekend break. This is really good because on the saturdays and sundays, you will be a lot more rested plus concentrated in school work. Thanks a lot for the different points I have learned from your weblog.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this website could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Excellent blog!

    I would like to express appreciation to you for bailing me out of this problem. Because of looking through the online world and getting opinions that were not helpful, I was thinking my entire life was over. Living minus the approaches to the problems you have fixed by way of the review is a crucial case, as well as ones which may have badly affected my entire career if I had not noticed your web blog. The capability and kindness in playing with a lot of stuff was important. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I am able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for your high quality and results-oriented help. I will not be reluctant to suggest your site to anybody who needs to have guide about this subject.

    Interesting article. It is quite unfortunate that over the last 10 years, the travel industry has already been able to to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, and also the first ever entire global downturn. Through everything the industry has really proven to be strong, resilient and dynamic, acquiring new strategies to deal with trouble. There are usually fresh difficulties and the opportunity to which the marketplace must all over again adapt and react.
