A breezy first Sunday of springtime painted a lie across the landscape: blooms and blossoms and green and sunshine were best enjoyed from inside the house because the wind and chill burdened outside time under the cruelty of its misleading optical deception. While it left me free to tackle the last challenge or two of a major website project, the early afternoon seemed right for the major meal of the day...a standard breakfast feast with many of the usual players plated: sausage patties, creamy grits, sunnyside-up eggs, and fresh-made buttermilk biscuits. Unstandard fare here, but all the more appreciated for its rarity.
The biscuits were indeed tasty, but man-o-man my technique still needs quite a bit of work.
Sunday was special for a double-doggy reason: it's the 7th anniversary of Sumner's arrival at the Roediger House, and his new sister Scarlett also marked her approximate first birthday. She's getting big but they have a fine time playing together and she has settled right in with us.
While my back door shrubs have not fared well, the second year of the new tulips is proving to be bold and beautiful:
