While that's not much of a surprise, the fact that at the end of September, after not much of a summer, the weather was so beautiful that we could have lunch outside on our patio was quite a surprise and treat!
I didn't break out the new BBQ grill for this event, but I did put a leg of lamb on to roast and make a salad and some mashed potatoes. The other ladies did their share, Banana brought Apple Struedel--made with apples from our garden (will post on the fall apple harvest soon), and Hatchie Gal brought a wonderful green bean casserole. Nothing says "Southern Girl" quite like a green bean casserole!!!
Admittedly, there was a bit of difficulty judging when the lamb was ready--but we had blue cheese dip and crackers to tide us over. And the boys were well-engrossed in the Sunday football--it's not just an NFL tradition! ;)
The sunshine held out for us, even long enough for us to stroll around the garden in a pack, with Sven and Hatchie Gal identifying the foliage for me.
For me, that afternoon represented EXACTLY why I wanted a house of my own--for good friends to gather.
