Hi friends, how are you? I am doing pretty good, have a lot of balls in the air right now. Mostly good ones but dealing with a parent with dementia is another matter altogether. Very fluid, some days better than others. I am grateful for those easy days where things seem to be OK. My business and finally starting to get in a lot of our orders has been a beautiful diversion and is keeping me very busy.<\/p>\n

As you know I\u00a0 periodically post via pictures of my life’s happenings. One day I will look back on these and be so happy I did this, it will be fun being able to go back and see various highlghts from month to month, season to season and year to year. This is a little of everything, Palmetto Bluff, New York and life in general lately.\u00a0 Let my iPhone take it away….<\/p>\n

Many peaceful moments at Palmetto Bluff<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ate outside almost every night and the last few nights found pleasure in setting a petty table<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Favorite room in the house….the porch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last morning there and my morning coffee:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even to this day, the moss covered oaks still take my breath away every time I go on my bike ride<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My most favorite garden, this is the stuff garden dreams are made of (Palmetto Bluff)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Driving home the roads were eerily quiet<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Meanwhile back in NY was thrilled that my favorite nursery was open, so grabbed my mask and drove over there as fast as I could! Found the pretties azalea and hydrangea topiaries!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A happy sight….a trunk full of flowers:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been enjoying mixing and matching my melamine lately…so many pretty combinations<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Forgot how good this is, a simple pasta with a lot of garlic, olive oil and broccoli rabe..yum!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2 planters being planted, many more to go:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So nice to see my patio coming to life, brought out the cushions, things are turning green…it’s a very welcome sight<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My sons were with us for a while with the pandemic happening (not wanting them to go back to the city) so I made sure to keep them around as long as possible by making them whatever they wanted, good old spaghetti and meatballs to the rescue..it was sooo good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then forgot how amazing fish tacos are! Will post this recipe on Sunday, a keeper:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Having so much fun mixing and matching my melamine patterns, this is my new favorite way to use them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Topiary season is here! Was so excited my nursery was open….grabbed my mask and drove right over. Picked up these beautiful hydrangea and azalea topiaries. Thankfully have a wonderful collection of blue and whtie porcelain planters:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone from our neck of the woods knows of the infamous decadence of the fruit pies from Briermere Farms. What can I say? Worth every decadent calorie and bite:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First two of many planters, planted. Shown here is pretty alyssum, love how full they are.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So nice to see everything turning green and blossoming here in NY after a pretty underwhelming winter (not even any snow). Spring has sprung and I am loving it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there you have the pretty highlights from the last week or so….trust me there were plenty of things that did not make the “cut” \ud83d\ude42 Sorry if I made you hungry, just going over this and realizing it’s probably not the greatest post to read on an empty stomach, LOL.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Hope you are doing well and staying safe. Trying to get back to some semblance of “normal life” but recognizing it is different now and slowly I am adjusting. I am happy to see businesses taking this seriously, we all need to do our part. And though I do not like wearing a mask, it is the responsible thing to do until we have this under control and I would not think to not<\/em> wear one. Please stay safe everyone, thanks for stopping in! Until next time…..<\/p>\n
