It is time for another
I wrote the following post when it was really hot. Guess what? It still is! Oh well, that is what summer is all about 🙂
From July 14, 2010:
Southern Sunny Table
It is hot, hot hot here! As I write this, the heat index is 101 – down from 105 today! So, summer is in full swing. What makes me think SUMMER? The sunflower!
Earlier this week I posted this pic of a sunflower about to bloom.
Now it looks like this:
I love those colors and it reminded me of some of my china that has sunflowers on it.
So, of course, I braved the heat and set the table for a late evening supper on the back porch.
The sunflower china (Spode – Reynolds) with golden flatware and some summery flowers.
See the bird feeder in the background. The doves that were feeding flew off when I went out. Hated to disturb them 🙂
A close up of the summer flowers:
And, of course, my table doves were invited too!
Happy summer evening! Hope you enjoyed this tablescape and will go and visit a lot more at:
