Al Fresco Breakfast



I love to dine al fresco in the summer time,  don't you!  

BUT.....at lunch time it's too hot to eat outdoors and by the time it cools off about 9 o'clock pm.....  it's too late in the evening for us to eat.      

 So.....breakfast it is!


I wanted to fix a simple light breakfast of soft boiled eggs,  toast,  and orange juice.  

 I want the soft boiled eggs to be perfect ......no runny whites..... and I want to be able to dunk my toast in the yolk.

When having a simple meal,  it is important to me for the tablescape to be really pretty


I began my tablescape with a bouquet of  fresh flowers from the yard ......


It's hard to make plain toast look good,  but I think these plates will do a pretty good job of it!


I found these sweet 3D oval duck plates at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago......


Won't these platters be perfect for serving deviled eggs at a party?


I bought the only two platters they had at the estate sale......$4 each

and the matching salt and pepper shakers  were $1 for the set
 

The scent from the nearby flocks fills the air 


What a great way to start the day!



Where I Party......

I have seen a mama pileated woodpecker teaching her baby to fly, this morning 2 cardinals. The gekkos are out and about. It is too hot here for lunch nd dinner also this time of year. How blessed we are.

  5. Love the plates and shakers - totally understand the heat problem. I really only go out to water my container plants around 8 AM. The low here is only 79 degrees, so by 9 am, it's hot!

  7. Penny,
    Those platters are amazing!! The whole vignette outside is lovely but I hear you with the heat. This Summer is unbearably hot for me and I am stuck in the house with the air conditioning because of temps. around 90 and terrible humidity which is wrecking havoc with my arthritis. I do not do well in heat and humidity.
    Next week looks cooler. I hope so as I will be off for 3 days next week!
    Hugs,
    Deb
