The best part of winter to me is fresh citrus, especially big juicy grapefruit
This was a gloomy winter week, so I loaded up the table with an explosion of citrus for a weekend dinner party
I have a lot of things in sets of 2 and 4 so for this table for 5 I did a little mixing and matching
It basically set itself as my ideas were hatching
Oh the bright colors, fresh fruit and flowers!
We’ll be able to dine, relax and linger for hours
But Mother Nature had other plans for this soirée ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
Snow in the forecast caused us to move it to another day
The city shut down early for this prediction,
You never know around here if it will be a fact or just fiction
But snow or no snow, this room is aglow
with bright citrus and candles to warm this chateau
And our friends will join us instead,
for the Alabama game just ahead!
Coming up this week, I will show you how to make these citrus place cards along with some more citrus surprises
Oh, and by the way, we did have a little snow
Not much, but enough to ice over the roads and shut the city down for 2 days
But despite the 20 degree temps, and an icy patio, you can’t keep a Southern guy away from his grill!
