We all love Esther Williams' movies, yes?  Did you know that Turner Classic Movies is doing a tribute to her?  TCM pays tribute to legendary film star and swimmer Esther Williams with a 24-hour marathon of films beginning Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET. And running till about 8pm Friday, June 14th.

I love it!  Her films are such a Joy.  Even after all these years.  The color.  The clothes.  The sets.  The extravaganzas.  The hair.  The fun.  :-)))))
  
First Peony...

I had one bottle of Mead, from my liquor store...  I wasn't too happy.  It was a bit too sweet, or something.  Thought that was the end of my Mead experience.

But!  Read of a local guy, who is making his own Mead.  His company is called The Helderberg Meadworks.  Look at that label!!!  How cool is that, hu?

Click here please, to go to his web site.

Whooo-hooooo...  I hope to have a bottle of his Mead, with which to Celebrate Mid Summer Night's Eve!!!


Poor little Daisys, got knocked down by the rain...

Tues. afternoon, I made my first Almond Pecan Bread.  Which is made in a bunt pan!  It is still cooling, and then I have to glaze it.  Oh I so hope it comes out, tasting good.

Later this evening, I'll take some over next door.  My daughter-in-law is Gluten Free and Sugar Free and Lactose Free, and Juicing too.  And of course, since "Gabe" liked my Paelo Bananan Bread, I have to have him try it too. !!!!

I hope, I hope, I hope it works!  If so, will show pics, in my  next post.


Yes, the poor little Daisys got knocked down, by this rain...

Out front.....  Too much purple in the Wave Peonies.  But pretty colors, in the Begonias.

These just won't quit.  And they make a pretty vignette, with the wild Queen Ann's Lace in front of them.

The 'spent' Poppy...

Your yard looks like mine...sodden. Sigh. I did run out to gather in the rain-beaten peonies so I could, at least, enjoy them in the house. Wanted to take a photo of them, but too dark. Oh I hope that your new recipe turns out great. Sounds like a treat for everyone!

Knocked down but not out, and that house is a great sight indeed

Auntie, we have a small bottle of "Mead" that we picked up in England or Scotland back in 1996. Had forgotten all about it. I doubt if it's still drinkable.

And we've had a bit of 'much needed' rain here in Texas just lately. We're already on level 3 Water Restrictions - which means we're only allowed to water once a week.

I remember watching Esther Williams with my grandmother. May she rest in peace.

All the flowers are soooo pretty.
I like that house a lot too. The porch looks like a decorated room. How nice it would be to sit out there!!
I love the little clothes lines between topics.

That house is really nice...so much attention to decorating. I have never seen a porch draped in fabric before...it looks like something my friend Carol would do. I admire the talent and follow through.

Linda said...

I have ALWAYS wanted curtains on my porch!!! I just haven't figured out how I can do that yet!!

Beautiful house...you SHOULD go tell them how much you like it...t'would make them feel sooo good. :)

I loved Ester Williams...I think I saw every single one of her movies.
