December in Florida


A few pictures starting with sunrise this morning. Today is DH's birthday and I've been working on making him a special dinner throughout the day. I made him a Boston Cream Pie, with a twist. The cream filling is peanut butter flavored, as I added 1/2 c. peanut butter to it. :-) A Thai carrot salad, Thai zucchini with bits of carrot, mashed potatoes, a pan seared rib-eye steak, and wine.

Have a great week.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

  3. I forgot to say how comfy your kitty looks. Did you make that afghan? I like those colors.

  4. Hello FlowerLady,

    Florida is just beautiful in December. My husband would just love it if I made a Boston Creme Pie for him. But, he is contenting himself eating a Boston Creme Pie flavored yogurt instead ;-)

  5. Good morning Ladies ~ It is a chilly 48 degrees here this morning, feels like it's 44. For us that's cold. It is a comfortable 68 in our little cottage without a heater on. We haven't even gotten it down out of the attic yet. It's a radiant heat, heater that we 'found' many years ago.

    Anyway, thanks for visiting and your kind comments.

    Becky ~ They can be addicting. You can't just have one.

    Sue ~ Dinner turned out really nice. We both enjoyed it. Then we watched the 3 hour finale of Survivor. Yes I crocheted that afghan many years ago.

    AZPlantLady ~ The Boston Cream Pie was delicious with it's peanut butter cream filling. Kind of like a giant peanut butter cup. BCP yogurt sounds yummy.

    Have a lovely Christmas week.

    You have so many beautiful blooms. Love, love, those pink blooms!

    I need some sunshine, but we're heading out to LA in January (husband's nephew is out there).
