I looked at tulip bulbs yesterday, but didn't get any.It's really too warm here for them to bloom more than one or two years. I should research some bulbs...besides daffodils, that will do well here. Hope you're having a good weekend. <br />xoBabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819457826608198258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-54910039406105204612013-09-21T14:20:21.705-05:002013-09-21T14:20:21.705-05:00Jane-Your chicken looks delicious-now I'm prac...Jane-Your chicken looks delicious-now I'm practically drooling.

The plainer the better with him! But he's easy to please and never complains so that's a good thing! Hope you get to the lake this weekend. It's about time for me to get to go to our lake house. Maybe a couple of weeks from now!

And it sounds like you don't go there in the winter at all? We go to our cabin year round, and I would miss it if we didn't go for months. <br /><br />I love apple turnovers and usually make a barefoot contessa recipe with dried cherries in it too. I'll be looking forward to your version. <br /><br />Congratulations on your 500th post!

I've almost bought similar flower frog jars twice, but put them back. Now I wish I'd bought them! Yours are very pretty! Those drumsticks look oh so amazing! Bet they were delish! Hope you make it to the lake this weekend.

So pretty! I laughed at your comments about the Russian sage. We planted some in our garden this year, but mainly because the bees like it so much!

I have so much outside work to do my head spins. <br />Instead my days are filled with amusing and caring for an almost 3 year old. I love it you know, but other things go on the back burner sometimes. I hope you and Al get back up to the lake this weekend..it's supposed to be cooler here but still fairly nice.<br />Your hair will look gorgeous no matter what you do.<br />Hugs friend,<br />CindyCindy (Applestone Cottage)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761029458170652533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-86433954600666859002013-09-18T22:10:09.957-05:002013-09-18T22:10:09.957-05:00I had to laugh at the first part of your post - yo...I had to laugh at the first part of your post - you sound so much like me with your good intentions of all these wonderful things to do - but then other things take your time instead. Why is there only 24 hours in a day? ;-)<br /><br />I *love* your flower frog jars. I have always wanted a set like that. Lucky you to find that!<br /><br />I've made a yogurt marinade for chicken (breasts; don't like drumsticks) before, but not with some of those spices in it. I'll definitely have to try it; I love fresh ginger. I think I have about every spice known to man in my cupboard. <br /><br />You will love your Russian Sage - it's definitely a plant you can neglect! Mine is huge now. I don't even water it. Love your headboard trellis - very pretty.<br /><br />I have so many gazillions of books to read that if I'm reading one and I don't like it, it goes bye-bye. I either put it on paperbackswap, list it on half, or donate it. <br /><br />Your hair is so beautiful. You're so lucky you can put it up in a pony tail. It's been many years since I've been able to do that. I hate my hair - it is so fine and stringy. I told Brian that I want to get it cut really short and he freaked out. Hope you make it up to the lake this weekend!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-69955447395557526652013-09-18T21:07:56.729-05:002013-09-18T21:07:56.729-05:00Hi, Jane!

I'm glad you shared that recipe, sounds delish to me!<br /><br />Good luck with the haircut! I'm going tomorrow and just need to go back to short. By comparison, it is short, however, I don't do well when it starts to grow out even though I'd love to try a new style!

Busy, busy woman. <br />The chicken looked delish and it was nice of you to let him try it. lol<br />When your garden is done for the season make sure you cut back your Russian sage really low. It will regrow in the spring. If you don't it will look shaggy and unkempt. Try to get past the smell when you touch it. Smells like cat pee to me. Ugh. But it sure is great in the garden.

I love your new flower holder!!! I cannot believe it is cool enough for you to do garden work-it is almost a 100 here every day-heat index is! No rain in over a month-everything is dead or almost so.
