Sun Porches and Buttercups

It was too damn hot to do much of anything today, but with a boat load of  company coming on Memorial Day I needed to keep moving. I just could not manage more than a straw sunhat today. Here I am early in the morning watering a few of the plants I put in the day before. I am wearing my Coffee Klatch dress and it was perfect for this work.

I also needed to get our sun porch all spruced up for the festivities.I am one of those entertainers that likes to be over the top prepared for the day. A previous life as a caterer sets me to making everything not only taste good, but look good and that includes as much presentation and ambiance as I can manage.

Last year I picked this wonderful tray up at the Goodwill for $1.00. I love the Mediterranean look of it.

And then I flipped it over and....VOILA...

It sits on my porch with these glasses on it...ready for some ice tea, lemonade or perhaps a gin and tonic.

I love, love, love these glasses

I also could not resist a photo of these buttercups, which I know will get mowed over tomorrow.
