My ambitions of keeping a running log as we counted down the days til our son and future daughter-in-law’s garden wedding were thwarted, (there was just too much to do) but the wedding did go on without a hitch.

The summer squash is STILL producing. I swear, if I have to look another squash in the face this year I’ll scream!

Here’s another good recipe if you’re having my problem and have waaayyy to much squash. So far I’ve frozen 4 batches (8 loaves) of this one. It’s really really good with a cup [...]

I knew I would try this recipe the minute Hilde posted it. I’d never made anything like it before, and rolling a pickle up inside a slab of beef slathered in brown mustard was too intriguing to just tuck away in a recipe file never to be seen again. I had to make [...]

Recipe Rated: GOURMET EASY* (need caramels,food processor,electric mixer,springform pan)

I love cheese cake. It’s not a secret–everyone knows I love cheesecake. Middle son, David, has inherited the cheesecake gene and it has, over the years, become our mutual vice. We have collided in the middle of the night at the fridge when a cheesecake was known to be [...]

If I had my life to live over…………

I just love this poem–Maybe because I’m at the point in my life where there are probably more years behind me than there are ahead of me. But, there ARE enough years ahead of me that I can still say to myself: Tomorrow I will do things differently……if I want to.

The angel lives in our [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words—

I woke up yesterday morning to the most glorious sight.

Overnight the Bradford Pear trees lining our drive were in full bloom. They’re one of the first signs of spring—

Everybody sing, "Do you know the muffin man…." Banana Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are good!

Before you start thinkin’ how tacky that mug is in this otherwise very attractive photo– I KNOW the mug doesn’t match, but I like it. It’s from a really cool bookstore and it’s my current favorite.

Anyway, today I had a craving for muffins. Yes that’s a really stupid thing to [...]

1 deer, 2 deer, 3 deer, 4…5 deer, 6 deer…do YOU see more?

I was sitting in my favorite chair having my 2nd cup of morning coffee, and saw something moving through the front window. I know! It’s always exciting at our house around dawn, and this morning was no exception.

It was a doe and her fawn! I ran to get my camera and stepped outside to get [...]

Breakfast on the patio on a crisp fall morning..does it get any better than that?

I had my first cup of coffee on the back porch as the sun came up today. I decided it was such a perfect, crisp fall morning that we should eat breakfast out on the tiny patio Frank built last spring outside the french doors leading into the guest bedroom. The spot is [...]
