Late Summer Or Early Fall…

 I guess it all depends on your perspective, right? Usually, I would be counting the days until Fall arrived, but, this year, because of my garden and veggies growing, I’m grateful for the hot days as they seem to double in size and ripeness overnight! Most of you know I’m a baker. Honestly, that’s exactly why I started gardening! I knew what I wanted and, either couldn’t find it, or couldn’t afford it. Hence, the search began, in the beginning, just for a really good roasting tomato for my focaccia and soups and sauces. Well, it’s kind of snowballed from there! Hah! 

Welcome back to the Thursday Favorite Things party! Thank you for joining us on our quests of improvements and inspirations! You all do quite well at both. Let’s take a look at a few from last week’s party!

With Much Gratitude For YOU!

 Good morning, beautiful friends. I am so happy you are here. In these very different times, I can not adequately express how much I treasure each and every one of you. You are a blessing to me more than you will ever know. So, please accept my heartfelt gratitude, for sharing your lives and creative talents, which has afforded me a semblance of normalcy that I am can't explain. Please know I see you, I hear you and the challenges that some of you are facing and my prayers are with you. 

Moving on with this week's TFT party and Features, plus an added chance to share your Fall creativity at Mine and  Linda's  "Everything Fall 2020" month-long link-up.

Spring Inspiration

Good morning, friends. I hope you are having a wonderful week.  I don't know about you, depending on where you all live, but here in Northern California, I am seriously missing Winter! No chilly mornings or nights, no frost, no seeing your breath in front of your face, but more importantly no Rain!

We so badly need it to avoid more devastating fires, not to mention, that I just Love the Rain.

It's A Shabby Thursday! (This Week's TFT Party)

Good morning, sweet friends. Welcome back to this week's edition of the Thursday Favorite Things party. I'm so glad you're joining me. As I write this, I have just said goodnight to a very different kind of day. Today was the one year anniversary of my father's death. And while my mind and soul rejoice for him in Heaven, my heart and humanness still miss him.  So forgive me, I am not going to embellish too much this week. Thankfully, I have been looking at all your wonderful shabbiness all through the week and have plenty of inspiration from your talents. So, mums the word and unto your features.

Tastes of Summer! All the Recipes You Need to Enjoy Your Summer (This week's TFT)

It seems we all love to share some of our favorite recipes, as each season comes and goes. I am no exception to that thought. I love welcoming each different season with my favorites for that time, as well. As I am definitely a Fall/Winter person, I get so excited that I start baking fall dishes at the end of the summer as I anxiously await my favorite season. Case and point last week I shared my Grandmother's Canadian Butter Tarts! You can find them, here!

I'm just counting down the days when I can have my oven on more, without it making the temperature in the house intolerable. Until then, you have all provided me with some wonderful summer recipes to get me through. Thanks for that! Let's take a look!
