TGIF!

It's Friday and there's nothing I like better when it's 95 degrees out, and humidity to match, than to pop open a nice cold Corona Light. Okay, it doesn't have to be that hot out for me to drink one, but it just happens to be, OK?
But first, can we have just a small lime-cutting lesson? Because one of my pet peeves is ordering a Corona at a bar & grill and you get this big hunk of lime with it that won't fit into your bottle. Shame on you bar staff! To be a bartender or server, you must know how to cut a lime. I have been known to tell bar staff the proper way to cut limes, and I've never even worked in a bar.
First, cut the lime in half lengthwise. This is the most important part of all. You must cut it lengthwise. Then cut across the lime in slices. I guarantee you if you cut your lime this way it will go into the Corona bottle.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, and it most definitely is here. Amen to that Jimmy Buffett.
Cheers! FF

Backyard Flowers

Would you like to see my backyard and deck? My flowers are doing wonderfully this year and I'd love to show them off. Shall we begin?

Well, hello there little fellow!
I wish I could remember what these are called. They come back every year and they keep spreading. They're so adorable; teeny-tiny lavendar flowers with a yellow center:
Looks like I need to fill the birdbath. That looks like something one of the kids could do. ;)



I can't remember the name of. :) Here's a hanging basket with just a mismash of flowers; some pink begonias, some vinca vine, some purple flowers

I love these fuschia colored begonias:
A little birdhouse, but it appears it's housing a spider and not birds.
It's 5:00 somewhere! The back deck is our favorite place to enjoy an evening cocktail.
My dad gave me this planter years ago. A nod to my farmgirl background. ;)


Can you spot the top of the little pagoda lantern? I never did use it as a lantern, so now it's a garden ornament.

Thanks for joining me in my backyard! Next time I'll show you the front porch and walk.
