it snowed last night…..
We had our first snowfall of the season yesterday. It wasn’t much, really, just an inch or two, but there was an hour or so in the afternoon where the snow fell hard and the wind blew heavy and it LOOKED much worse than it was, and Minnesotans, even though they are a hearty bunch [...]
red envelope giveaway
WHAT???? Yep. The word ‘GIVEAWAY’ just landed on my blog. Surprised? Yeah, me too. I’m really not one to get all that worked up over a Giveaway, either on my blog or someone else’s. If the item is really something I would like, maybe yes; like this gorgeous necklace giveaway that I won from [...]
meet my new baby…..
I have been abundantly blessed to receive this beautiful Nikon D80 camera as a gift, straight from the heart of a wonderful friend. And here I am, someone who is so good with words and story-telling, and I can’t find the proper ones to express my gratitude for her kindness and generosity. She has blessed [...]
grateful
I awoke this morning with a full heart, enriched from an experience last night that really blew me away. I’ll share it soon, when it manifests in reality. But it got me thinking, with Thanksgiving approaching, about everything that I’m brings me gratitude in my life. I could go on endlessly, because my life is [...]

Happy 9th Anniversary to the love of my life. I’d marry you all over again, in a heartbeat.
summer sizzle, and a discovery
July is segueing into August, bringing the dog days of Summer. It’s been a scorcher, but this is such summertime, hot, sultry weather that we can only dream about in January. Heat shimmers on roads, whistles through trees and sears down on our heads and shoulders. Night time should bring some relief, but many nights [...]
wordless wednesday, july style
“we stagger through an immense summer morning after showers leave their sweet bouquet smelling of liquid lace, lovely as a song and secret wild blossoms……” ”the sun has burned our skin dry, like a slender page, we crack with sound and heat, like red dirt whipping on the wind thin streams of perspiration trailing cheekbones [...]
owning my success
I can’t recall, nor can I find the exact date that I first hit the ‘Publish’ button on this blog and began this journey, but it happened in June, and it was five years ago, in 2006. There were hardly any food blogs then, and I really had no idea what I was getting myself [...]
