Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

 5 looooong weeks ago, I had some kind of "senior moment"..... lost all my marbles..... and we drove home with a 7 week old Lab puppy!

 There is no doubt about just how cute he really is........

............but only when he's sleeping! 

This is "Brody"....the new kid on the block! :o)

Spring Lambs

 On Tuesday, my girlfriend Diane asked me to ride along with her to another farm to pick up three baby lambs that were orphaned.

Her truck would not start, so we had to use my SUV.   Two of the lambs were caged in the back and Diane held one of them in her arms, for the drive home.  She will be bottle feeding them for many weeks to come.  

 The estate farm  that these lambs were born on is just beautiful!

 The grounds were very interesting and meticulously groomed!

Everywhere you looked there were peaceful views and so much beauty to behold! ......... Sigh   :)

Have a blessed day!



Rejoice! Jesus Has Risen From The Dead!

Springtime Tulips

Spring is my most favorite season.  So much beauty everywhere you look! My gardens are just bursting with color.....I just had to bring some of that beauty and color indoors with me!  :)
Blessings on your day!

Held a little sweetness in my hands yesterday!

I really don't hate Mondays.  But this little pup's sweet face and pink tongue sticking out at me just "begged" for that caption!  :)

Hope your day is blessed!

Blueberry Scones




We had a Ladies Retreat planning meeting here on Tuesday night.  I needed something "Yummy" to go along with coffee and tea.  I have never made scones from scratch, but decided it might be worth the risk. 

 

 The dough was a little tricky to work with and I tried really hard not to panic as the clock ticked closer and closer to our meeting time.  After much fumbling, into the oven they went!

 I cooked them for the maximum time called for and was disappointed that they came out a  little over done.  I really should have pulled them out about 5 minutes sooner.




I plated them anyway and drizzled a little powdered sugar frosting on the top.  They looked so pretty  and everyone enjoyed them.   The next day they tasted even better and the flavors were more intense!   I will definitely be making these again.

   Have a blessed Day!

Sweet Desserts and Puppies

We had dinner Friday night at a friend's home and she made these adorable miniature desserts. They were delicious!


And for evening entertainment, her dog which is a Black Lab, was giving birth in the same room as we all dined together! I was so excited! I have never seen puppies being born. What a treat!
Now I can check that off my bucket list! :)


This is not a picture of all of them...but when she was finally finished she had given birth to 6 tan and 3 black, beautiful Lab puppies.
So precious!
Have a blessed day!
