Sometimes the yearning for salad overwhelms.
Recently, there has been a craving for fresh salads.
Having a fresh salad for lunch or dinner is a good way to start the week.
A few times now, the salad resulting from thought has been fresh spinach, slices of pickled beets, feta cheese, and chick peas.
A favorite dressing for this winner of a salad consists of fresh lemon juice, olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
SOOOOOOO delicious.
Here is wishing a Happy Sunday to all.
It's raining here but it doesn't even matter.
We are used to making our own sunshine.
Thinking of all precious blog peeps on this glorious new day of life!
I like to put little birds in plants.
They look so cute looking out into the world.
Do you think so, too?
People may have wondered about the crazy lady with the cell phone camera whose car kept stopping to snap photos of flowering spring plants.
It's impossible to just drive by brilliant forsythia that looks like illuminated gold in the afternoon sun.
Such incredible beauty must be shared with the world through a camera lens.
Magnolia trees have burst into gorgeous pink bloom as well as apple trees whose presence is equally breathtaking.
Snapping photos of such spring plants, trees, and bushes, in all their splendorous glory, is sheer delight.
Seeing the hundreds of blossoms makes my heart fill to the brim and sometimes even brings tears to my eyes.
The spring trees and bushes give us a tiny glimpse of heaven on earth.
It's important to surround one's self with things that make you happy.
The world can often be a cold and cruel place.
Small items, even some picked up at thrift stores or yard sales, often can be quite beautiful or humorous.
What decor is pleasing is all up to one's individual taste and style.
Shown are a few decorated, very colorful corners of a small apartment.
Today, a couple of things are on the docket.
This is a very big task.
When that most challenging job is over, there are oatmeal raisin cookies to be baked.
I put them in baggies, ready to give to others, for a variety of reasons, including gratitude for something that has been done for me.
The oatmeal raisin cookie recipe used is a good one because, without even doubling it, it makes cookies by the dozens.
The recipe is on the bag containing the raisins.
If doubled it, there would be cookies baking for most of the day.
Here's hoping for a good day for all of us!
And now, it's clothes and cookie time...
