Super Sweet Sunday
Lately, I've been really happy with some of my/our purchases and I've also come to really appreciate some things that have been bought previously, but used more recently because of all of our stay at home time.

Pineapple Bars

Rainy Day Monday
Last night, the sweet smell of spring fresh rain filled the air as we had what I would consider our first real spring rainfall. Almost nothing beats the smell of the rain. I say almost because as I contemplate my line-up of what to do for my cozy, little indoor day, my mind wanders to …

Thanks to the December Chatelaine issue from 2006 (the bottom of the recipe page says so), I came across this wonderfully simple, all-time favourite Tart recipe on an ad page (ads in …
Must I Choose?
It is good that life is full of choices, but did you know that there are many times when, in fact, you don't have to choose? Sometimes, you can have it both ways Or all. Perhaps, you need to be a bit creative in order to make it happen, but it is possible. You know …
On the Brink of It All Over Again–Part 3
Well, I had no intention of turning my post from Friday into a three-parter, yet here I am. What began as a gloomy weather forecast of the first season's snow has quickly turned into a scene right out of The Christmas Carol. Honest to God. In comparing pictures that I have taken of our bushes …
On the Brink of It All Over Again-Part 2
A cool-looking ice crystal formation on our windshield & our snowy bushes out front. For those of you who read my post yesterday dealing with my sadness over our first predicted snow storm of the season being far too early, these pictures from last night and today state the facts.
