This time of year always fills me with hope. 🌸 The featured photo is the witchhazel in our front yard, then some crocuses from my morning walk, and finally, a forsythia from a nearby park. 🌺

On the days that I’ve had the energy, it’s been a pleasure to… Continue reading Fall splendor

While we wait for case to arrive from the manufacturer, we thought it would be worthwhile to try something new - gluten-free donuts. I didn't glaze them,… Continue reading Homemade donuts
I've been trying to get out of the house and exercise a little more regularly. The area around our home is so beautiful it is a pleasure to be out and about!
