Gardening Tips
My hope is for all to receive sanctuary and encouragement, including hospitality venues and ideas, conversational meditations, and organic gardening tips. Topics will range from the deeply personal to the light and entertaining, but all with the purpose of uplifting you while encouraging you to think deeply.
A Cloud of Butterflies
Out of my kitchen window, I notice butterflies flitting in and out of the late summer flowers in full bloom. I dash out with my camera in hand to snap a few of these miracles landing here and there, but I’m so distracted by their colors, sizes, and industry, that I can’t concentrate on just one shot!
Lemon Saffron Cupcakes
I partially made up a cake recipe (I made cupcakes) to celebrate the end of summer and served them for a special small gathering. Lemon brightens up any occasion. And if you include a touch of exotic saffron, the floral notes will tickle the back of your tongue for sure!
Set the Stage
My twelve-year-old granddaughter has been busy setting the stage, especially her desk, for school to start. We receive face-time calls from her almost every day with a running commentary on the welfare of her two dogs, one illusive cat, and her new favorite pet, a gecko! We savor these phone calls and hope they never end, but who am I kidding?! Teenage years are right around the corner. But I digress!
