The sun is going down and ending a beautiful summer day. H and I are going to enjoy a simple summer supper in the back yard. |
My tablescape is going to be very simple.... |
A vintage table cloth and a simple centerpiece that I made in a big mason jar..... |
These thistle bushes grow wild here in Eastern New Mexico..... |
The stems are thorny at the bottom but the top of the stem and the flower are soft. |
I cut my flowers from a field right by the railroad tracks. |
Simple meal tonight....just a few ingredients.... |
I bought this spiral thingy ($15) at Bed Bath and Beyond. You just twirl your squash in it and you have squash "noodles" or zoodles as they are sometimes called. |
Strawberries and whipped cream for dessert...who wants to slave in the kitchen on such a beautiful evening.....not me! |
Simple and sweet, Penny. Just lovely. xo Diana

ReplyDeleteYour meal might have been simple, but nothing about your back yard is. So very pretty.
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteThat is one great table and something that I have never seen that likes of before!! Your supper looks really good! Unfortunately the pepperoni would do me in. There are so many things that i just can not eat so that is why we never eat out but order in and eat at home.
Your yard looks stunning as always!!
Hugs,
Deb
