I’m sitting outside on our front walkway as the kids swing away in their hammocks.  The sun is high, warm, inviting, and the wind is whistling through the trees.  Sure, there is a yellow dusting of pollen everywhere and I might have to take a Claritin, but it’s not going to rob me of the joys of Spring.  Especially in good ‘ol Georgia.  The leaves are blooming, the bulbs are displaying their best and brightest colors, and the azaleas are showcasing their splendor.  Rich color

However, parties can get out of hand and so we have opted to go a little smaller thi

As the heat comes into full swing and the days are at there longest I have enjoyed less cooking and more ease when it comes to the kitchen.
