HARVEST TABLE FOR TWO






"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine."

Simon and Garfunkle


Before we put dinner on the table, I would like to thank all of you who were so gracious to ask how Buddy is doing.

We went to the vet on Thursday and she was not as happy about Buddy's health as she would have liked to be.  He still has the pneumonia, in fact, she heard more crackling in his lungs than before, so evidently the medicine wasn't strong enough.  She prescribed a stronger dose and he was put on an inhaler and we had to put a humidifier in the room and pound on his chest for 1/2 hour twice a day.  If he is not showing signs of improvement by Wednesday, we have to take him back and they might have to insert a tube into his lungs and drain out the bacteria so that he can breath better.
Hopefully, he will be feeling better so that doesn't have to happen.

Even though he's sick, he still grabs his basketball and wants Dad to play catch!

Now for a little less talk and a lot more pictures....

You may have noticed the button on my sidebar proclaiming October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

BJ over at Sweet Nothings was kind enough to let me take it from her and I would like to offer it, also, to any one that might be interested.

On each post that I send out this month, I will include a picture with something pink in it.  It is a fun way to keep the focus on this devastating disease throughout the month, and I would be more than happy to have you join me.



Think Pink!

  4. Wasn't nice at all to read about Buddy. I do hope this stronger medicine helps him out so that he won't have to go through that at the vets. Didn't sound that nice.
    Beautiful pictures as always. You are so good in getting your home look lovely.
    We have october against Breast cancer too. Here we're putting on those pink ribbons on our clothes, reminds me I haven't bought any yet.
    Hope everything is well with you and that you have a nice day. When you wrote morning yesterday it was almost evening at ours!!
    Love Elzie

  6. Holly said to tell her friend Buddy that he has to get well soon and that is an order! She's an alpha dog, and you know the leader dog means business. She said all his friends and fans are counting on him to get back to his old self soon, and she wishes him a speedy recovery.

    I like the pumpkins on your table with the lace, and the centerpiece is just lovely. Your table is just wonderful Judy.

  8. Hi Judy,
    I love your harvest table, centerpiece and your set of dishes with the cutest salt and pepper shakers! I have one dessert plate that looks alot like yours, but from a different company. It is one of my favorites I like to use for fall when I have tea for one. Your dining room looks so warm and inviting and your menu so yummy! Hoping Buddy is better and the visit to the Vet is good. Have a good evening!

  11. what a pretty fall table setting. I haven't had the white bean with rosemary soup in ages. So glad you posted it, now I want some. I like the little topper or doily on the pumpkin. I like that idea.
    I am praying that Buddy will be free of the bacteria that's making him sick very soon.
    Blessings - Betsy

    Your food is making me hungry and the dried hydrangeas are breathtaking. Love it all.
