Brunch with added protein

Backyard brunch, Charleston, S.C.

Check out my lush green back yard. I've already bought a bird feeder and am enjoying visiting song birds. I scrubbed out my electric stove (blah...I love gas stoves) and made blueberry pancakes for brunch on Sunday. It was lovely and cool outside.

Zoom in for a close up below and check out the Perry Trucking mug courtesy of my brother Roger. I didn't spot the dark flecks in the maple syrup until after I'd gobbled up my delicious pancakes....yep, floating dead ants. Ooops!

Opps - do you need a new supply of Maple Syrup for Canada?
The breakfast looks delicious.

Hahah! What a mess, eh? I can get some here and I'll check it more carefully this time. Hope your open house went well.

The table and chairs gracing your backyard looks like it will be well-used this summer! Great looking breakfast, even the cholesterol-laden bacon! A few ants won't hurt you...just a tiny bit more protein.

A little extra protein for you.

Bacon now and then is a worthwhile treat in my opinion. Gotta have a few slices with pancakes and eggs :)

I'm going to enjoy it while I can. I know the heat is coming.

It was delicious. The blueberries were fat and juicy.

Heheh....didn't bother me but I'll keep an eye on it next time. What a shame to throw out liquid gold.
