Easter…we have been so lucky this year with the weather. Easter time has almost felt like summer some days. I love it. I’m worried about the tree’s budding and then getting a frost though. That would be a disaster for the fruit farmers all over southern Ontario.
I love the color of these tulips…kind of a cherry shade. I’ll plant them in my garden later.
Memories….So many of our best memories can be triggered by a scent of something cooking or baking in the oven. Lately I’ve had an interest in preserving family recipes so they won’t be lost. I also plan on framing some of the ones that mean the most to me to hang in my kitchen, You can tell they have been made frequently and often dripped and dropped on.
This recipe is the cake I always asked my mom to bake for my birthday. We grew raspberries in our backyard and always had frozen ones on hand. She would use a maple fudge icing on the top. 
We had many, many pecan pies, always baked on Sat. for dinner on Sun. The pecans were usually bought down in South Carolina, and brought back just for these pies.
I think my Grandma wrote this recipe…after reading it over….I have no idea what “star shape beets” are. Have you ever grown any? 
Molly’s Cookie Treats are one of my favorites….I haven’t made these for years…I think I might just have to go and bake some right now!
Chocolate Fudge was a Christmas tradition. Always a nice treat to have in the house when friends stop in!
Who doesn’t like a party???
The flowers were gorgeous…in the cold days of winter, they are always so refreshing. Everyone in our family have summer birthdays but me….although it’s always something to celebrate in a month with no holidays. Good food…family…good friends….
My husband baked the cakes and then my daughter helped with the icing….didn’t they turn out cute. They were delish…thanks to Betty Crocker who now makes gluten free cake mixes in Canada. Yum. They sure didn’t last long.
Who would have ever thought how much fun it would be to add two new puppies to our family. Wow has this year ever gone by fast…never a dull moment!
What cute faces…they can melt your heart.
Bundles of energy for sure.
Who knew they would love to play in my garden???? Where can I buy a fence long enough to keep them out.
