They Tumble And Fall!

We had a nightmarish thunder/wind/rainstorm yesterday...my most beautiful deck plant was blown overboard. For the past few days it's been such a delight to just look at its pink and green loveliness...but even though Den raced outside to pick it up...it's kind of a mess...so sad! I even matched it's green spiky things to my new deck sectional...I am really sad! I love rain...love it! But I have to admit to being afraid of summer storms...we lost power for a few minutes...the wind was...way too windy! My grandmother always lit a few little votive candles during a storm...I usually do that, too.


What was funny was that last night I made my grandmother's chicken for dinner! It's all made in one pan...chicken pieces and little baby potatoes and carrots and onion slices...maybe a few garlic cloves...that just get sautéed in a big pan...although I microwave the baby potatoes first...and I only use skinless organic chicken thighs...but it gets brown and crispy...Den loves it...and when the pan is empty...my mom or my grandmother would take a slice of bread and wipe out the pan...and deliver that to my dad...I do the same thing but I deliver it to Den! He loves this chicken!

Hopefully I can save my plant today!

Finished this...utterly fascinating but I am beginning to devour historical/quest/fiction!



Reading this...Maine, lobstahs, relationships...yum!



I have already separated these two...Lucy is in a time out...lol! They look angelic now but they were popping each other minutes ago...in my lap! Sisters! Den thinks Roxie is the instigator but that is not always the case.





That's all I have! Happy Wednesday!
