Coffee and Cookies On the Patio

Lemon Crisps with coffee on the patio.

 The tablecloth with it's orange accents had me looking 

into my cupboards for dishes to go along with it.

I had picked up five pieces of Orange Rooster last year for a few dollars and they work. 

The entire tablescape cost less than fifteen dollars via my thrifty shopping excursions.

I drink coffee from one of these mugs nearly every day.

 Bringing me a petite coffee cup is a mistake.

I mentioned that we had a family commitment on my last post on Thursday.
 We were excited to get away for the weekend as a family,with the puppy, and we did. I will not be writing in my Hold Everything Lightly series today because I am "give out" as my mama would say. Instead I am editing photos of fields, flowers, streams. mountains, and old cabins. Tomorrow I will share some of those images with you instead of the series. I cannot stay awake today.
 The unrelenting rhythm of the rain keeps me sleeping in my chair.

Partying here:
