LAST NIGHTS TABLESCAPE AND GOLDEN VEGETABLE SOUP

As my husband says, I think you do so well at entertaining yourself!  (with tongue in cheek and a precious supporting smile)  Yes, the table we eat at is so important to me as to how it looks.  Good food even tastes better and a not so good dinner will get by (hopefully, these food preparations are few and far between).

This new tablescape began with a freshly cut bouquet from our yard.

It was from a flowering shrub called Miss Kim.  The fragrance is

intoxicating and the whift of it from the back door. . .dreamy.

My little lamb from an antique store in one of the villages

we visited last fall. . .

The estate sale lamp, the estate sale books, the antique porcelain lamb and

a pewter, family heirloom filled with Miss Kim.

The simple, nutrious homemade soup, filling and low in

calories.  Served with freshly baked Rosemary, crusty bread.

Dessert: a simple bowl of fresh sweet watermelon.

Dinner entertainment:  American Idol (and even he likes it!!)

Quite an amazing group of kids this year!

Have en enjoyable Spring (cool today) day!
