hello gorgeous green

Oh my... I'm pretty sure any couch has ever made my mouth water so.

One day.. we will need a new couch.  I will not have a couch like this with a cat in the house... especially a blonde one.  Not that he's is going anywhere over a couch...

Man these are cool.

All photos found on this pinterest search. 

Except this one...

Which is the first one I saw before the salivating began.

Found it in this beautiful French home HERE.

bacon

Y'all.. I wouldn't kid you.  Bacon this way has literally changed my life.  I cook breakfast every morning.  I get up, walk in the kitchen and turn on the oven, take a shower, go to the kitchen and put foil on a sheet pan for my bacon.  Then I put a small piece of parchment paper out for two frozen biscuits and put halves of bacon on the foil.  Put it in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.  This gives me time to finished getting ready.  When the 20 minutes is about up I am back on the kitchen cooking two eggs and making my lunch for the day.  It's my routine.  I used to stand here frying bacon.  This process is much easier.  I'm telling you.  And oh-so good!

And the clean up is a snap.  Just let the grease cool and throw it away. 

fur babies

My Nikon has been dead for a while.  I had to buy a new charger after loosing my other one on a camping trip several months ago.  I don't know that it is lost... I just can't find it.  This is the first time I have used this camera in a while.  It was almost like figuring it out for the first time again. 

I took these pictures while hanging out with my friends on the porch 7/3/17.

Happy 4th!

pops of color

I've been spending a lot of time in the Oasis lately.  When I was transplanting my aloe last week I noticed how filthy (as if I had not seen this for... ever) the glass on the tables were.  So after the aloe move I got out the cleaner and polished them up.  While doing this, it hit me that hey... stick some color under there.  So I popped in the house and got an old handkerchief and an old cloth napkin.  I love the pops of color in this place.
