One #christmastree left in front of Kroger. Do you think it’s free? Reduced price? #charliebrownchristmas

All those years in Virginia have stayed with me.

All those years in Virginia have stayed with me. Wreath making is definitely in my soul. I hope Mrs. Bernard would approve. These are mostly boxwood, magnolia and a few holly sprigs. Keeping it simple and loose. There was a time when I would have lemons or apples all over them #williamsburg style. But it just doesn’t stay cold enough anymore. Everything just rots too soon. If you’ve got boxwood or other interesting evergreen shrubs that need some winter trimming. Make a wreath. I just stuck the little branches right into a grapevine wreath. Florist wire comes in hand but isn’t completely necessary. No bow for me this year. The wreaths are against the backdrop of warm and cool white lights loosely hanging from my plantation shutters. I like combining the whites. Lighting is a lot more fun when I don’t have to get on the ladder. 😄#nowreathemoji #wreath #wreathsofinstagram #christmaslights

I didn’t know the #gingko fall leaf cycle could be enjoyed right in my own kitchen. When I started the leaves weren’t even yellow. This all happened over quite a few days and the last two leaves are still hanging on. COVID #ikebana continues. #smallprojects

COVID #ikebana #gingko leaves. My trees don’t get quite enough sun to turn bright yellow. I waited as long as I could! The leaves are dropping fast now. The branches have wonderful natural sway. I didn’t have to do anything except let the branch be itself.

This has a happy ending. Carolina wren flew in the house. A few tense moments with the cat. But I nabbed him and threw him in another room. She flew out and left me a beautiful little pile of feathers. @pegvessels I’m saving these for you! #feathers #carolinawren

COVID #ikebana continues. Last zinnias and that purple stuff before the freeze. I really like how the late stragglers have built in twists to work with.

The food section in the Tennessean back in the 1960s featured home cooks and their recipes. This hilarious story showcases Chris Tibbott my friend @natashatib late mother-in-law. I love Bernie’s line about Chris’ combination oven-bookcase. She was a creative force in Nashville and even made Minnie Pearl’s famous hats with the price tag. Years ago I took a picture of the one sitting on a limestone head carved by Chris in Natasha’s living room. Can’t find it now dang it or I’d share it again. #nashville #homecooking #oldnashville #tennessean.

Ikebana update. Check out how these seed heads have turned into fuzzy broom heads. Completely changes the vibe. #andygoldsworthy would approve! #ikebana #seewhathappens. Three days later.

So what’s tying this jumble together? It’s the color red. Red blue to be exact. Beets red plum and red black grapes. Spicy arugula onion and peppers. Whole mustard seed vinaigrette. Think how different it could look if I used the same ingredients but changed the proportions. Or changed the size of the pieces. Little changes can take you in a whole new direction. The tart plum skin is excellent with the earthy beets and sweet grapes. Don’t forget the salt! Hits all the taste points sweet salty bitter sour and umami!
