Homegrown Good Luck

These are the pink-eye purple-hull peas we grew last summer. (Scroll down this blog entry to see them in the garden.)


Cooking on the stove.


Ready to serve. Everybody knows there's a mega-abundance of New Year's good luck in homegrown peas, right?

Pretty New Glasses

These were from the Thrift Town sale. 20 cents each. They are heavy and feel good in the hand. They are perfect for a New Year's Day toast with sparkling cherry juice.

Anniversary Flowers

We went to Lowe's Wednesday afternoon to get some new light bulbs for the kitchen ceiling. When we returned home there was a florist's box waiting on the front porch. I received a beautiful bouquet from Bruce for our 20th anniversary. Aren't they pretty? Thank you, mi amore!

Pink Bubble on Display

I like this much better.
