I have been absent from my blogs for a week because I have been scrubbing, painting and sewing to help my son & daughter-in-law get ready to move into their new home this weekend. But, I couldn't let down my friend, Kathleen and not participate in her second "Let there be White" event so I threw together a simple table in the satellite gazebo in the dark last night. Head over to Kathleen's blog,
Cuisine Kathleen, to see all the amazing tablescapes.
Like Kathleen, my hydrangeas guided me to my second color choice. The white Annabelles have turned green a sure sign of autumn approaching. Since I do not own an all white plate I also had to cheat a little and use my modern John Tams earthenware with the black words for a late night supper in the garden.
I added in some more lime color with some chopped romaine...
and some more white with grilled ciabatta garlic bread and grilled shrimp with lime flavors (marinated in margarita mix with tequila - tonight's shortcut to Susan's marvelous tequila & lime shrimp).
A simple late night supper from start to finish in less than 30 minutes...just what a tired gal needed.

How funny that both you and Debbie dinner under your satellite gazebos with white and green ;)
I love the lime hydrangeas and that charming centerpiece. Your tablescape looks beautiful against your garden, Marsha!
I'm LOLing about your milk...waht a great idea for today's theme! Loved your setting & your menu!
Marsha--I love this color combo! I especially love the green hydrangeas. Mine are turning green as well. Your food sounds divine. Hope the move goes well!
Your table looks so inviting Marsha ~ and with that drop dead gorgeous backdrop of your garden, it's a knockout!
I love the crisp look of lime with green and white ~ so fresh looking. Great combinations!

I love the white and lime, Marsha! Great combo, beautiful! Your garden and table are always so pretty!
Lime is my favorite summer color. Great setting, Marsha! Everything is just perfect. Love your satellite gazebo :-)
What a lovely setting for your table! I like it!
Marsha, your first picture with the lime and white dishes against your coneflowers is GORGEOUS.
I didn't realize that the Annabelles turned green ... they look so full and lush.
A perfect dinner after a busy day ... the shrimp looks and sounds delicious.
love everything about your post.
OK, OK I KNOW the place setting with the milk is Jeffs! Your drink is "hiding" behind the hydrangea and it is definitely NOT milk!! LOL Margarita perhaps???
Everything is lovely, from your background to your table setting...beautiful post!!
Marsha, it's lovely. A simple meal I would love.
What a gorgeous table setting. The coneflowers are an amazing compliment! Just beautiful Marsha
