Sunday is a non-chore day -- watering only if it is really drought conditions, no deadheading, no vacuuming and dusting or cleaning bathrooms. It's a lazy day. And we do dawdle and linger over breakfast.
And to celebrate the Fourth and our American heritage, what better breakfast than a Southern Breakfast!!!
As served to us in the grand antebellum homes of Natchez -- bacon fried crisp, eggs sunny side up, grits and biscuits. With coffee, of course -- CDM coffee!
Because it's the Fourth -- it's red, white and blue at the breakfast table -- the blue and white dishes (Johnson Brothers Asiatic Pheasant) and a red napkin in the silver napkin rings.
And for the centerpiece -- the red, white and blue flowers in a blue and white pitcher! It is the Fourth, after all!

It is the Fourth, after all!It's Thursday which means that's it's Tablescape Thursday -- what would Thursday be without a tablescape? Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch to see what everyone is on everyone else's table this Thursday!

Very nice/ I can almost smell the food. The only thing I would change is the coffee to Starbucks Italian Roast....nice and STRONG!
Oh I wish I had a place at your table! Yes ma'am, that is truly a southern breakfast. The kind I grew up with. We called sunny side up eggs "sopping eggs" since we could dip (sop) our biscuits in them. Sometimes we had bacon. Sometimes we had Virginia country ham. Those biscuits look delicious. Please pass the jam!
Best,
Bonnie
I absolutely love the blue and white! Definitely a Southern breakfast!

Your Sunday breakfast looks wonderful! This is my dear hubby's dream breakfast. It looks so pretty with the red, white, and blue. I'm writing on my calendar for next Sunday..Southern Breakfast!
That's the kind of breakfast we look forward to on Sunday mornings, especially in the colder months. I don't know about the grits, though. I think I'll opt for porridge!
I would love to have that breakfast at that table :-). It all looks quite wonderful. I hope you are having a grea day. Blessings...Mary.
Beautiful and delicious is definitely your M.O.! I love lazy Sunday mornings, coffee and crosswords!!
This looks like the breakfast my grandfather had every morning, polished off by a couple more biscuits with syrup. Of course, he burned it all off working as a telephone lineman! Your breakfast table looks wonderful -- very festive!
Yum. I'll be right over! Martha you have a way of making everything so special. Your table is lovely and so festive. You sure have the touch..
Have a sweet day, big hugs~Elizabeth
A leisurely breakfast is such a lovely treat on the weekend and this is my favorite menu. Love the red, white and blue tablesetting as well, Martha.
It looks wonderful. Liek the idea of Lemon Coleslaw. I do a great coleslaw and think i will use lemon instead of cider vinegar next time.
