A lovely day and a recipe...

Sitting with my girl Gracie while she suns herself.

Making a gift for a friend's new baby.  The shower is in 2 weeks.

Putting the gift of fresh eggs (from my Sister-in-laws 13 chickens) to good use.  

(I threatened to steal two of her black and white hens under the cloak of darkness...they are my favorites)

Playing with the idea of starting this mitt's mate.  I'm nervous for sure.

 

Making dinner with my boy from scratch.
