This time of year is often one of reflection: looking back at the year that is bidding us adieu and contemplating the beneficial things that ought to be repeated and those areas that require action of another sort. Although it hasn’t been my custom, last year I took the Word of the Year quiz at…… Continue reading gather
If you’ve been around this blog for awhile, you’ll see a definite pattern. I’ll be writing strong and steady for a time, then I’ll seem to disappear from the face of the earth. My vanishing act regularly occurs in the summer months. This year has been no different. While there is an aspect of lazy…… Continue reading vanishing act
Is it just me, or does food bring people together in a special way? There is something wonderful about sharing your table and the fruits of your labours (or someone else’s for that matter). Conversation flows more naturally and small silences go unnoticed as we enjoy the meal. Years ago, we would split the time…… Continue reading easter feasting
I’ve been sharing some older Easter posts. This is a re-post from April, 2017. I’ve been mixing up a few treats for the weekend activities. There was a wonderful Good Friday concert at our sending church last night. What an amazing evening with a beautiful group who loves Jesus. We listened to several talented musicians and we…… Continue reading easter treats

Then added a cute fringed towel. It still looked alone. I got it into my head that…… Continue reading spring floral watercolour {with a twist}
Do you ever really think about the enormity of that day at Golgotha where the King of Glory laid down His life on the cross more than two thousand years ago? Sadly, I often take this day for granted. I go about my business, doing my own thing, scarcely giving a thought to that great sacrifice.…… Continue reading worthy is the lamb
I’ve been feeling a little sorry for myself this week. There were a few reasons, but here’s the big one: a new grandlittle that I’ve yet to meet. This sweet girl was born on April Fools Day. source: Naomi Lucienne Photography Being away from my mom, our older kids and grandlittles is not always easy.…… Continue reading easter thoughts and such
Easter weekend is fast approaching, and as we make plans for the weekend, I consider the events behind the holiday. For us it is not about bunnies and eggs and chocolate; albeit, I don’t mind indulging just a little. It is about a love so amazing, so self-sacrificing, that its depths cannot be fully comprehended. About a King…
If you’ve spent any time around here, you know how much I enjoy a comforting and nourishing bowl of soup. Soup is one of life’s perfect solutions. Bits of this and that in your vegetable crisper? Make soup. Leftover chicken, turkey or beef? Make soup. Ham bone? Soup. Beets in season? More soup. Giant package…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ potato soup
