4 -F Night

This was my view this morning from the porch as I "slept in " till 7 ! I needed that little extra!




Yesterday morning I got up at my usual 5 A.M and this was my daylight greeting! Foggy!








I love the foggy misty mornings, they remind me of the Smoky Mountains!

Very mystical................

I was excited all day about my friends coming for dinner.............Disappointed that three were unable to come for very good reasons . Carolyn, Diane and Jerry, you were missed and you missed out on a wonderful night! :( Hubby is getting his cooker ready..........

Frying up them Bream ( Blue Gill to some) You cannot order Bream off a menu in any state, so Bream are a treat!

Dang! Those fish smell good!!

Ruth and Greg brought me this fabulous Birthday Cake! Too pretty to cut! Everyone loved the food and I was told that I make the best Potato Salad they've ever tasted! :)

I made this Yummy Frozen Chocolate Pie with Rum in it and a Pecan Crust!

They are all yakking while I make coffee to go with desert...............It was a 4- F night! Friends, Fellowship, Fried Fish and Fun!! We talked about their books, Anne had a book signing at Books A million in Meridian yesterday and sold 50 books! Funny thing is, they were already sold out before she got there and had to send someone to the store here(90 miles) to get the 50 she sold! we told Ghost Stories and related tales about our travels! GREAT conversation!

The Three Musketeers.........We laughed for hours! Ruth White, B'Day Girl, Anne McKee ! See my Rose? Anne and Doyle brought me that! :)

Anne's husband Doyle takes my picture, I take his, and Greg, Ruth's husband, looks at the ones he just snapped...........
Hubby is laughing at all the flashes going off!
We all had a wonderful time and next time they are going to spend the night so we can play cards till the wee hours! This was me and Hubby after everyone left! Happy and contented but two tired A**es!

I now have a dozen eggs from Miss Trixie GoLay! Question is, will she take the Sabbath off again today? I'll keep you posted! Have a great Sunday everyone! I plan on a little R&R today, Reading and Recouping!

" Moments of Pleasure "

I thought I'd post today about things that give me pleasure


For the past two or three months, I'm not sure just how
long I have been watching episodes of the awesome BBC
series, The House of Elliott. It ran for three seasons for a
total of 31 episodes. I got it through Netflix and so it was
spread out over a period of weeks. I LOVED this series!!
The ONLY thing I didn't like was that season 3 ended in
a cliff hanger that will never be resolved.......





Beatrice ( Stella Gonet ) and Evie ( Louise Lombard ) Elliott
are sisters left penniless upon their father's death who use
their talent for designing and making clothes to start their
own London Couture Clothing Establishment! The clothes
and hats they wear, will leave you breathless!!

I dream of having Beatrice's hair style..........

Another wonderful arrival from Netflix...........

"Fireproof " starring Kirk Cameron

This is a Christian based movie about the work

it takes to make marriage successful. It is a really

wonderful love story...............

These are the books I've managed to read in May.....

Two wonderful reads by NC author, Louise Howe Bailey.....

Reading is ALWAYS a pleasure.....

Two fabulous mystery reads by Mississippi's Ruth White

"Poe " a collection of 19 new tales inspired by Edgar Allan Poe

and "The Legend of Nance Dude"by Maurice Stanley......

I'm told this book was inspired by Gary Carden's play of

the same title..........This story is a sad but tragic tale of

a NC woman who was convicted of murdering her own

granddaughter.............

Watching the mist on the pond in early morning................

Today was a Misty Mississippi Morning................

Gathering the morning harvest from the gardens...........

Washing Collard Greens harvested from a friends garden

Getting them in the cast iron pot to cook.......

Keeping tabs on their progress till their done................

Seeing what new blooms await my morning stroll.....

Like this beautiful Yellow Hibiscus...........

What a pleasure to see the Trumpet Vine @ the Pond House Blooming

I was given this gorgeous Day lily by a friend a few weeks ago

and stuck it in with the Elephant Ears till I could replant it...

It just continues to give me a bloom a day.....

It was a pleasure to get my Mystery Plant,( it is

a mystery to me and everyone else it seems, just

what this lovely is) planted in a basket where it can

bloom profusely.....

Wathcing our first batch of baby birds get ready to

fly the ledge...........

All 5 of them..................

I love watching this guy feed.......

A male Red-Winged Blackbird..........

The female isn't as pretty as he is

They have a really good time in the new feeder Hubby built

And it's a pleasure to watch................

Have A Great Weekend Everyone !!!!!
