New Year's Day 2021 -

New Year's Eve - we managed to stay up until midnight, pop a cork

 and toast each other, family, friends and the hope of better days, 

weeks and months ahead.

New Year's Day started with a healthy breakfast.

Garden birds, especially House sparrows are very busy this morning eating

 at the feeders, then resting for a while on the bench.  

It's cool, grey and dreary, and more rain coming later.

Planning to take indoor the decorations down today so must away

 and get busy.

Hope you enjoyed your New Year's Evening. . . . and 

today will be a good one.

I had a good feeling. . . . . . . . . . . .

 . . . . . . those Florida grapefruit would be awesome!  

Remember, I only paid $1.49 for a bag of five ruby grapefruit fresh in
 from our beautiful southern sunshine state last weekend. 

They certainly add even more color to the kitchen when cut open. 

I add a little Demerera sugar and let them sit awhile - often doing it the night before -

then they are really sweet and luscious in the morning.

These have to be the most ruby red grapefruit ever!  

Both the tea towel and adorable 'March Hare' plate are from Anthropologie. 

I bought a couple of these tea towels last year and actually use them as

 oversized napkins, and granddaughter Jasmin gave me the plate as a gift.

 As for my sweet birds? My dear friend and neighbor Lori gave me these.

 Aren't people wonderful when they know just what you love?
