Hello Sweet friends and welcome back. Well, Memorial Day has come and gone and it seems we are all focused on the Summer months ahead of us.  I hope you had a chance to enjoy the weekend.

It's a DIY Easter (Everything You Could Want and More) & the TFT Party

Hey sweet friends, welcome back. Can you believe Easter is just 10 short days away?! Time is just flying this year. The day before yesterday, we welcomed in the beautiful new Spring season, albeit quite a soggy one here in Northern California. I will not complain. I love the rain and we are always too short on supply to not welcome it with open arms. Well, you have just about enough time to make some of these adorable creations for your Easter Tables! Whether you were looking for Easter decor or some wonderful recipes to try, last week's party had it all, and then some! Enjoy all the creative ladies that linked up with these fun options!

The Blooms are 'March'ing In Right on Que at This Week's TFT

Happy March, Sweet Friends! I'm so glad you're here. Isn't nature just wonderful?! I love Fall and Winter, but even I have to admit the signs of Spring popping up here and there towards the end of January or, now, the beginning of March seems almost magical. It's usually about this time of year that I take a walk in my Mum's garden to see what's popping out of the ground. She has the most beautiful daffodils and hyacinth showing the promise of Spring. I even had my first single rose bloom. Ahhhh. Okay, back to earth. It's Thursday Favorite Things time and you did not disappoint with all of your ushering in of the Blooms for Spring either.
Thanks goodness, come take a peek.

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 90's. 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.
