With friends and family getting vaccinated folks are slowly starting to see each other in person and actually hanging out. I am seeing friends one or two at a time and with our spectacular weather we’re meeting outside in the garden. Being able to see friends without any restrictions has been liberating. Which leads me to this recipe. I had good friends Rose and Donna for brunch recently and what a relaxing and fun time we had! We had a light lunch of pasta salad with cashews and asparagus, a simple tossed green salad with dates and strawberries, eggs shakshuka Italian style and this delicious blackberry coconut pecan cobbler.

Twins Surprise Virtual Grad Party 🎓🎓
Good Monday to you all! I hope you are having a relaxing holiday weekend (for those in the U.S. celebrating Memorial Day). I know it seems each day is blurring into another these days, as one of my friends put it “Feels like every day is a weekend, and every weekend is just another day.” Still its nice to know that on the weekend you don’t have to wake up early and get to work online. On our side we had a busier Saturday than we have had in the last three months. My twins graduated high school!! Continue reading Twins Surprise Virtual Grad Party 🎓🎓

A Little bit of Sunshine
On day two of staying at home – on Tuesday, which was yesterday our gorgeous Bay Area weather, was back. As if to remind us that all will be okay 🌞. Mother nature is on our side. All that sunshine was beckoning me to get out into my garden and I couldn’t hold back my excitement! I took care of aphids that were showing up on my rose bushes, pruned flowers that were done blooming, and re-potted a couple of rose cuttings I had made. Still have more work to do but cloudy skies and rain came back in the afternoon. It was so awesome though to be outside and enjoy the fresh air! Continue reading A Little bit of Sunshine
Day 1 of Shelter in Place
Hello everyone, wishing you a good Tuesday. I am hoping everyone is well and healthy and are ready to ride this wave out until we see rays of positive outcomes at the end of this “shelter in place” “self quarantine” “stay at home” and “social distancing” mandate. Speaking of words, I purposefully chose the title “Shelter in Place” as it sounds so much more gentle than the harsh “self quarantine.” Continue reading Day 1 of Shelter in Place
