Be joyful, creative, and delight in simple things!

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world.

Today, feels like winter; very cold! (just barely 50 degrees F). We are going to have a cosy fire this evening; when our dear friends come over for dinner. We are looking forward to seeing them; as it has been a bittidz of awhile; and we will enjoy getting caught up on lots of tidbitz! LOL!

We ae going to serve pate on a crisp bagette & green grapes, as an hors' ordeuvre; Costco's Shepherd's Pie; a handpicked green garden salad and fresh herbs from our garden (the tid cherry tomatoes are not yet ripe; so we have a lovely bit bunch from our favourite Produce Farm! Also, from the 'farm', are snow peas; which I will whip up with herbs and butter. Of course my favourite wine (South African); white or red; whatever is their choosing; and last but not least, a fruit flan from a wonderful local bakery. We like to support her; and her baked items and sandwiches are tidbitically outstanding! I will spice the flan up with a bit of tid home grown mint! So there you have it, simple!

Eventhough I hobbled about on my foot, and took a tid extra bit of time, I managed to vaccum our house etc; and now our home is 'ready' to entertain visitors! Must add a tidbit; after it rains, everything looks so lush and green! The leaves and trees are just awesome; in so many contrasting shades of vibrant greens; and all the flowers (primarily rhododendrums) are bittidically flourishing in several beautiful eye catching colours.

Shortly, am going to go and prepare the dining room table; as I like to create a warm, welcoming and inviting ambience! Also, it helps 'enhance' the meal! LOL!

Tidbit - Appreciate the 'simple' things; and be joyful!

Bittid - Appreciate new growth; even if it is winter temperatures! LOL! 'Praise Him In ALL Things'.

Love the above photo image! I will be throwing in some 'Sweet Basil' in with the snow peas. Mmmmmm. Can taste it already! Also, Alan just brought me some gorgeous bright yellow 'Gerberas' and some pale yellow carnations. Am going to arrange the flowers in a beautiful blue and white Portuguese pottery antique vase; as well as enjoying my parents' (passed on to us now) old blue and white dishes for our repas.

Have to go for now; as our friends will be here before you know it!

God Bless.
