I long for something easy and light to eat when it gets that hot. Here is my standby recipe that is usually made and waiting for me in the fridge.<br />

<b>Toasted Quinoa Salad</b><br />
Makes about 6 cups<br />
<br />
1 cup quinoa<br />
2 cups water<br />
1 teaspoon fine salt, divided, or to taste<br />
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar<br />
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice<br />
1 teaspoon honey<br />
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper<br />
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<br />
1/2 cup teardrop or grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise<br />
1/2 cup peeled and finely diced cucumber<br />
1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced<br />
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion tops (I use red onion, finely diced)<br />
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley<br />
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint<br />
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese)<br />
<br />
1. Place a medium saute pan over medium heat; add the quinoa to the dry pan, and toast the grains until they are light brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. 2. Place quinoa and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add 3/4 tsp salt, and immediately reduce the heat to a simmer; cover and cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 10 to 15 minutes. The quinoa is done when it appears translucent and tender. 3. Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, pepper, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and oil. Pour over warm quinoa, and stir to combine. Place in a large bowl, and allow to cool. When cooled completely, add the tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, green onions, parsley, and mint; gently toss to evenly distribute the ingredients throughout the salad. Sprinkle with feta and serve chilled, or at room temperature. I have also added avocado or raw cashews. YUM!!!<br />

Bon Appetit!<br />

The weather has been incredible this spring and apparently my roses are in love with it too! My clematis is also going crazy right now. I thought I would share some pictures of how lovely the roses are right now.<br />
<br />
My life is so blessed and things are very rosy right now. Hope things are coming up roses in your life too!<br />

The Brits have always worn hats. I remember the Queen and then Princess Diana. And now Kate is very chic with her hats and "fascinators". Do you think they will catch on here in the States? While shopping at a local department store recently, my daughter and I had so much fun trying on fascinators... I felt like a fashion model and was pleasantly surprised at how good I looked in one, haha! I also have a small collection of vintage hats. The kind that look like a cake, all done up with velvet flowers and velvet ribbons - my favorite! Are you planning on wearing a hat this Easter Sunday? I just might! Have a great week!<br />

It had seen better days and was so outdated, but it had good bones. Also, the $4.99 price tag got me. I tore it apart, was a little creeped out by what I found for stuffing (that nasty excelsior straw) and went to town painting the legs and reupholstering!<br />

Every June, the daylilies come out with a gorgeous show of blooms. And the roses are trying really hard, in spite of the heat. So today, I wanted to share some of the beauty of my garden. Enjoy!<br />

And you realize how your time on this earth is getting shorter. For me, that means that I had better start pursuing my dreams! One of the things I love doing is spending time laughing with friends. This is me at the famous Wildhorse Saloon in downtown Nashville. I had so much fun line dancing, laughing and meeting new friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know that my best days are in front of me!<br />

PS: How do you like my date?

This is an old set that was once dark oak and I painted it white in my "Shabby Chic" stage. It had gotten pretty dinged up in the move from Washington to Tennessee and was looking pretty worn out. </div><br />

It is finally feeling like Fall here in Middle Tennessee. Last week we had temps in the nineties, but thankfully it has cooled to the high seventies. I have been able to get outdoors and do some Fall cleanup in my garden beds.<br />
<br />
I have also been inspired to welcome Autumn into my home. Won't you please come in?<br />

It is another beautiful day here in Middle Tennessee. I am working on Fall cleanup in my yard. Mowing, weeding, deadheading, etc. Last week when I was trimming my lavender plants, Sophie disturbed a nest of the most darling baby bunnies. There were two of them – so cute! Hopefully they were fine, because when I looked at the area the next day, they were gone! Sophie seems confused as to where they went. Poor doggie, she thought they were her new playmates. <span style=""> </span>Jasmine is such a poser…always hoping for a photo op.

My thanks to Cindy @ <a href="http://romantichome.blogspot.com/">My Romantic Home</a> for hosting Show and Tell Friday.<br /><br />This week I would like to share some special members of my household. I don't remember when it started, but I have always loved animals. Perhaps it has something to do with all the time spent on my Grandpa's farm. There were always kittens, chickens, horses, dogs, and of course cows. Have you ever ridden bareback on a cow? I don't recommend it, they're very bony!<br /><br />And now for the introductions:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBljSfwUc5_XyzxTIj0NiMoeBgo-60FZDuPJRmtRbUnzkZLv4mB8pBK5ohouf1zLMjuC95FX2A9_dWB36TJ206zZsiybefxWSb8UlYRZVJB_lG7MFTRhP4Wt_a6RLkU58vZYpBf9jCJLQ/s1600/4.4.09+abby+adores+the+tennessee+sunshine.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBljSfwUc5_XyzxTIj0NiMoeBgo-60FZDuPJRmtRbUnzkZLv4mB8pBK5ohouf1zLMjuC95FX2A9_dWB36TJ206zZsiybefxWSb8UlYRZVJB_lG7MFTRhP4Wt_a6RLkU58vZYpBf9jCJLQ/s400/4.4.09+abby+adores+the+tennessee+sunshine.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512447029285028338" border="0"></a>First is Abby, the Abyssinian. (Please don't tell her she's not a purebred because she's got the attitude!) Abby is the eldest at eight years. Abby is very smart, clever and tiny.

She is the shy girl, always hiding when we have guests. She is also our most valuable kitty. We found out she is a snow marbled bengal. I love her blue eyes and her fur feels like a bunny!

She's the youngest and is quite full of it. I have always loved black kitties. She acts more like a dog. Did I mention she is HUGE? She can even stand on her back feet and walk a few steps. Maybe she'll be famous one day on You Tube.

Sophie is a pretty girl, her coloring is officially called "sable". She's my best friend. She adores me and follows me everywhere. Her favorite things are taking a walk through the neighborhood and playing with her BFF, Jazz.<br /><br />Each of our kitties were adopted from the Humane Society. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND adopting there, we have always gotten THE BEST kitties from them!

I love this time of year when it starts to get cool at night. It even is beginning to smell like Autumn.

Fast forward to May, and her birthday...guess what one of her gifts was? Yep, the much coveted chandelier.

We had to turn off the stove and dash into our “safe” place, the hall closet! Flashlight in one hand and Sophie in the other, we squeezed in there. About ten minutes later we were able to come out, and the sirens were silent. So we started cooking and it happened again!! Oh no, the hall closet was too small and VERY claustrophobic, so we moved into the guest room closet (much better!). Well, the siren went off a total of three times, and we did finally get dinner made. And thank the Lord, there were no tornadoes that touched down! I guess we’re broken in now and have become pros, WE KNOW THE DRILL!!<br /><br />I was able to get some new things posted in my Etsy shop this afternoon, including this toile apron…<br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318743085136106834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHFNw0gi0ixDDVOys3XUdkKTnAKVmXYnBZp53k-13vkAAoyDIbEHa4ROB0qFT3Tu4JSBWVSPuOXdB2WKqT9pWre_C5epDKm0G-KxQhmKTE2vhLG9NxqHzXNGRtEhfeYBg3GWsvbYq9oboj/s400/blue+apron+1.jpg" border="0" />Hope ya'll had an UNEVENTFUL and SAFE weekend!
