So apparently I finally remembered that I have a food blog. It’s a long story, but the happy ending is this asparagus white bean soup. Link in profile! #asparagus #soup #asparagussoup #fbcigers Pronounced a success. New recipe coming ... to say ‘soon’ might be an exaggeration #pancakes #chocolatepancakes #recipedevelopment #nanatime I’m just waiting for this corner of my garden to fill in and blossom into a glorious spa for bees and butterflies. I’ve already seen a bee visiting. Clockwise starting at top left: milkweed, white echinacea, pink echinacea, Russian sage and bee balm. There are geraniums in centre front and lavender in the front left corner. The plant at middle left is fennel from the adjacent herb garden. #gardening #beegarden #butterflygarden #perennials New bloom ... #nofilter #clematis #gardening #mygarden #vancouverseabreezeclematis Not to brag or anything, but this is how I feel in my new gardens ... #gardenornament #gardening #giftfrommydaughter A sprinkling of cocoa on my cappuccino this morning to celebrate the beginning of a great work week. Positive thinking, no? #monday #coffee #baristaathome #cappuccino In 2006 I bought a home with beautiful, much-loved gardens from an older couple. They were feeling the effects of aging and were moving into an apartment. This lovely garden ornament was next to a rose bush they had planted in memory of their daughter who had died, and they entrusted it to my care. I sold that house in 2012 and have moved this tribute with me since then. I’m so glad I did as I later learned the new purchasers had rented the house out. I’m pleased to have it in my garden today, and feel it’s important that I honour its story of loss and enduring love. #gardenornament #gardentribute Memories of Tuscany ... lemon trees in early May. #tuscany #lemons This is what I’m up to over at my other account, @marliemakes ... playing with colour. #knitting #crafting #making #playingwithcolour #modernscratchliving
