A Little R & R

Ahhh.....it's our get away time again.....and there is something to be said about that first cup of Joe in the morning, especially  when your on vacation!

 

Just to sit and relax on the balcony looking at the ocean and meditating on the goodness and majesty of God.   The world is just waking up.....the seagulls are off in the distance crying out....some people are already out walking the beach ....and as for me .....well,  I am just sittin back and taking it all in!  I think I will go and grab another cup of coffee! 

 Hope you have a blessed day too!

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!
