OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
So far it’s pretty outside, but the week is supposed to heat up quite a bit with rising humidity and a severe threat of thunderstorms. We shall see.
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE
I’m eating some leftover Quiche Lorraine and coffee.

CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR
Not much on TV at this time of year, just a few straggler shows that are about to wrap up for the season and some cooking shows backing up on the DVR so I’ll catch up on those this week. I also started Kristen Proby’s Boudreaux Series #5 book, Easy Magic.

ON MY MIND
FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA
A couple months ago we had a HORRIBLE freeze. One day the temperature literally dropped 42 degrees almost all at once, OKAY SO IT WAS OVER 12 HOURS, BUT STILL SEVERE! Plants everywhere froze that night. No one had warning so plants didn’t get covered or brought in. We lost our Norfolk pine and it comes from Virginia! I noticed another neighbor had theirs out for trash this past week too. My Lantanas all froze and turned brown and crisp with all the leaves and flowers dropping like that been hit with liquid nitrogen. I cut them back and left them thinking I’d wait to do anything about it until spring got into full swing. I’m sure glad I waited! They are coming back heartier than ever with LOTS of NEW blooms too!
INSPIRATION
Be sure to link up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.
Hey Sweetie! So glad that you’re liking blue apron! I really liked that pork chop one with the sweet pepper sauce. 😉
That such a bummer about the freeze! Thank goodness you were able to save those flowers – so pretty! I love your inspiration this week too. Perfectly stated!
Hope you have a wonderfully blessed Easter Dearest and that those storms stay away!
xoxo
Looks like most of the storms stayed north of us, but we had a pretty nice thunderstorm yesterday – fortunately AFTER I returned from errands. But, it was enough rain to hopefully settle down my transplanted flowers!
Have a Blessed Easter too my sweet friend!
Those food pics made my mouth drool! Love the quote!! Have a great week!!
Thank you, they were super delicious! Have a great week too!
I love quiche for breakfast! Thanks for the potato chart – I always forget which is best.
Have a great week!
You know the old saying potato, potato (insert alternative pronunciation here), but it really isn’t true LOL Have a great week too
