This week’s Winn Dixie advertisement flyer peeked my curiosity. Mirlatons were three for a dollar. In all my years I’d never heard of or seen a mirlaton, much less eaten one.

Happy tea on Tuesday! It’s a beautiful, crisp day in Mississippi. I relish cool weather and am thankful for it. It’s perfect weather for opening windows and letting the cool breeze flow through our house. It’s perfect weather for hot tea.

Fungi for Patty
Posted in For The Fun Of It, Marvels of Nature on November 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I’ve always been intrigued by fungi, but since I learned of Patty’s love for them I think of her every time I see striking ones. These fungi are for Patty’s pleasure.
Until next time…

Last night my DH and I kicked back and watched a couple movies. While I was “watching” I tried out a crochet pattern for little people slippers. The pattern was easy to follow, and the slippers turned out sweet. The embellishment idea was my own. Without the rosette they looked oh [...]
