Goodbye May..Hello June!

Good morning friends! Thank you so much for being here every week and sharing all your creative posts, recipes, crafts, and DIYs!! Can you believe June is just four days away! 

I'm still here, happy and healthy, and baking away! At least my friends and family are happy and I get to do something I love and learn new recipes and techniques. Win-Win! 

Thank you for your wonderful comments, I apologize if I didn't respond to them all, but I read and smiled about every single one.

On the menu this morning at my house, Croissants! 

Welcome to this week's Thursday Favorite Things!

I've No Excuse! The Days Blurred Together

Happy Thursday Favorite Things Friends!! 

It IS Thursday, right?! I'm so sorry my week is a bit off. Just trying to catch up with the days! I think I should be hosting a party called Forgetful Friday! LOL

I have been pinning your wonderful links and do so appreciate you all, but I did also fall asleep and think today was Wednesday! 

Thursday Favorite Things From A SIP Blogger

My friends, I must offer you my sincerest apologies. With all that has been going on...COVID-19, and, now, us Shelter In Place (SIP) I completely missed the Party time. That is not to say I forgot you! I have still been pinning through the week and will have my Features up, I hope within the next couple hours, but I am truly sorry to be behind.  I hope you understand and will link up now and come back later today or tomorrow to see if you were featured. 

Please stay safe, friends!

Spring Blooms Everywhere!

Hey friends, Good morning and Happy TFT to you!
I pray this finds you and your families safe and sound and free of any epidemics!
Not much else in the news, these days, is there? I know several of you, like me, are compromised for one reason or another. So, I pray you are taking every precaution.

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Muffins-Springtime in a Muffin!

It seems that as we draw closer to the end of February the pull towards all things Spring is inevitable.  We've bundled up and enjoyed our Autumn breezes,  we've celebrated with our family and loved ones for the holidays, looked, longingly, at our fireplaces, and snuggled with a good book or old movie, now we look to the promise of Spring.

Spring begins in just a few weeks.  Yep, March 20th, by my calendar, here, in the United States. Unfortunately, I do realize that many of you on the East Coast and in other parts of the world are still looking at lots of cold days to come this year.  Whilst others are in the '90s. Goodness!

No matter, I have the perfect, refreshing, welcoming Spring, cheer up your Winter, or refresh your Summer recipe right here!   I have seen versions of this recipe in Allrecipes, Bon Appetit, and other periodicals. The funny thing is, everyone had their own tips, twist and tricks to it, so it never reads exactly the same. I, actually, really love that.

I am no exception.  I made changes to it, as well.
