Days of Wine and Roses


Thank you to everyone who fell in love with the Beautyberries in my last post, they truly live up to their name!




Life around here has been quiet, it seems that the auto accident we had a little over a month ago is letting itself be known with some lingering shoulder and back pain.  The soreness has been there all along, but it seems to have gotten worse over the past few weeks so I'm off to see a doctor on Tuesday.

I hope he will be able to fix me up quickly, because I have to say that as someone who has never had back pain before, it really is the pits, and keeps you from doing things like taking pictures and spending much time on the computer!




Mr. Tide and I really aren't big drinkers, in fact we rarely drink at all, but we do keep a bottle of Willm, a lovely pinot gris, around for when people come to dinner, or to take as a hostess gift when going to a friend's house.

We discovered this lovely, slightly sweet white wine on a visit to Whole Foods awhile back, so when we make our bi-monthly pilgrimage to WF, which we affectionately call the land of joy and joyness, we always pick up a bottle.   It's from the Alsace region of France, the area that we visited around this time last year.  That was a wonderful time, our very own days of wine and roses!

I hope each of you is enjoying your weekend!  And a very Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

  2. Kat, I'm sorry to hear about your aches and pain from the auto accident. Last November I (driving my car) was struck by a car, and I in turn hit 3 other cars. It was a nasty accident that was entirely the fault of one distracted driver. I had minor back pains, but luckily they went away. Good luck with your appt!

  9. Oh thanks for that tip. My husband and I wander around the wine dept at WF not knowing what to choose...love the pick and will try it soon :) Hope you have relief from the back pain soon. I have suffered a bit of back pain the last few years from overdoing lifting...it is misery! Take it slow....

  11. Thinking of you and your back pain, I'm glad you are going to the doctor...need to take care of it, and know what you are dealing with. I had two bad car accidents, that have affected my neck a decade later...hopefully you have a minor injury and a quick fix!

  12. Thank you for the wine tip; I shall look for it.

    I hope you're feeling much better soon. It's so hard to live with chronic pain and irritation, isn't it.

  13. Oh, dear, I hope your doctor
    can help you put this pain
    behind you, Kat. I've been
    through it and as you say, it
    IS the pits!

    How nice that your WF has
    wine....If ours did, I could
    truly say that all good things
    come from WF!! Unlike you,
    I am a wine-o : )

    Gorgeous pics, as always....

    Happy Tuesday,
    xo Suzanne
