When lilacs are in bloom, your whole property smells like some remote corner of heaven and you almost have to say “Aaahhhhh!” every time you step out of your car.. It’s nearly impossible to get in a fight with anyone in your family when your house smells like lilacs.
And that makes me a little crazy.. -I broke the office-style tile ceiling in the summer when I was trying to hang a big lantern from it so it droops, but it doesn’t really matter because the whole ceiling needs to come out, be raised up to original height and be re-done.And that makes me a little crazy..
The thing is though, it’s the first room I see when I get up in the morning and it was looking pretty sad after all the Summer decorations had been put away.So I added in a few.hints of Fall, just to make it feel a little happier in there for now.. Oh, and this post should really be subtitled “….and then I added more burlap”, cause that was my solution to pretty much everything in here..
OK, so now you see what I mean about the burlap!.I used it as a table cloth….. And a lantern filler….
and I fluffed a bit up and made a runner for the sideboard/buffet/whatchamacallit back there too..
The wheaty looking stuff came from down by the creek.It was the right thing to do!.
I have always wanted to learn how to make cabbage rolls but the idea has always seemed kind of intimidating.And time-consuming.
Really time-consuming.I took a basic cabbage roll recipe, simplified it almost to the breaking point, and then threw it all in the crock pot.
