frozen hot chocolate

published 1 month ago

Life has shifted into high gear this summer. As a result, some weeks have passed since my last post. My mother-in-law, whom I adore, was here from South Africa for almost a month. With her she brought updates of how our family and friends are doing as well as stories about the World Cup and  [...]

maple pecan butter

published 4 months ago

Several days ago, we had this unusual hiatus to our typical 95 degree July heat. We had three wonderful days of cloud cover and beautiful rain – with an amazing rare double rainbow thrown in for good measure. It looked like the pot of gold was hidden directly behind my neighbor’s house – just stunning. [...]
