Farmer's Market

The local greenhouse hosts a Farmer's Market every Wednesday (indoors in the winter) so we headed there one evening and checked it out. I wasn't thrilled, but mainly because Hubbers was appalled at the prices and frowned upon me getting anything, so then i frowned upon him. Lesson learned, next time I hit up the Farmer's Market alone!

Taking a break - being a Scrooge is exhausting

I love the frame within a frame concept

Friendster 2014

Because Friendsgiving 2013 was such a smash hit we had to try a Friends Easter gathering.  It was a really good time (even for my grumpy self) and always wonderful to have our peeps around us. Everyone brought a potluck dish and we chatted our way through the day and finished the evening watching silly youtube videos. Also I had a blast decorating with my dollarama finds

Until next year...

Holy cow, the little nuggets are three years old already! Ahhhh, time has never gone so fast as when you watch someone else grow up. Here come a million photos of their pool party birthday:

All the loot

Our library is beautiful.
Recently built, full of light and tiny corners to snuggle up with books. It's really a nerdy paradise. I met up with J-sis there for a book club discussion on "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" which was spectacular. It covered a small island during WWII and how they connected over books and shared in each other's lives. Of course incredibly sad, but also with tons of hope.  It was written entirely in the form of letters back and forth between people and was so interesting and easy to gobble up.  We both loved it.

Also, how interesting that it was written by two different people  - how on earth did they manage that!

Philosophy and Sherbert

March 16, 2014

Hubbers got me a beautiful orchid for Valentine's Day... I believe I pictured it earlier on here...  anyways, I was sitting one night staring at these beautiful petals and looking at these blossoms about to unfold and I felt like we are all waiting on the cusp of something beautiful. It was a moment for me, so I drew on the chalkboard:

Then I made a freaking delicious homemade sherbert with mango and ginger and bananas... spun off of an internet sorbet recipe that I can no longer find :(

Hooray for days filled of hope and sorbet!
