Gracious Southern Living In Newnan

My mother and I share a passion for Southern Living Magazine and their annual cookbooks.

My 1981 Southern Living Cookbook is my "go-to" encyclopedia for all things cooking and is a treasured gift from my mother on my wedding day in 1981!  It's always close by and regularly enjoyed with a quiet cup of my Home At Last! Robust Morning Blend Coffee!

Spring 2012 At Casa Bella in Newnan

I've always focused on images from the inside of the house but seeing that we are busy in the yard I just had to share this gorgeous example of a young India Blood Peach tree donated to Casa Bella over fifteen years ago!

Tiny, but worth their weight in gold, the ripe peaches make up a base of a favorite homemade syrup and homemade ice-cream.

Once the fruit has matured, we process the peaches by peeling them, storing them in freezer bags and freezing until needed for the raspberry-scented deliciousness!

Casa Bella is busy with spring cleaning and dolling up the outdoors.

 After a brief bit of time off, we're anxious to open the pool, paint the porch furniture and add a new farm table to our beloved front porch!

We've always enjoyed a pretty table on the west side of the porch but the sun is intense and too hot for a pleasant breakfast.  So, we've repainted the base and are in the process of adding a beautiful tabletop of reclaimed wood salvage from old barnwood! 

And we have moved our pretty new table to a new cooler location and hope guests will enjoy even more use of our fabulous front porch!

Early Spring Bloom in Atlanta

It's hard to believe that spring has exploded around south Metro Atlanta!

Bradford Pear trees have bloomed and already dropped the flowers! And without much warning!

I think all of us that suffer from allergies were caught off guard but after a cold, dingy winter we were all ready for warmth and color in our landscapes.

Which brings me to my strawberry plants. I planted these last year and since it was my first year growing strawberries I didn't know what to expect. My hearty plants not only thrived in the snow, rain, and cold weather but they spread like crazy and celebrated the early arrival of spring with these pretty blooms a few days ago!
