My Favorite Things . . .

 


These are some of the things in life that I enjoy and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Lets share!  


 


The Classics. They are called the classics for a reason. They are timeless and just never get old.


 


Spring flowers, although it will be a while before we are seeing any here. It is supposed to snow today, and in fact is snowing now.


 


Radishes. I love their peppery crunch.


 


Vintage stoves  . . .  they have such character.


 

Fresh chocolate chip cookies  . . .  they are a real favorite of mine.


 



Enamelware  . . .  the potatoes look pretty good also.


 


A cup full of blooms  . . .  what a pretty way to enjoy them  . . . 


 



Oh my goodness  . . .  its a chocolate pig. I could not bring myself to eat it. Its too cute!


 


If this is a scarecrow, it's adorable  . . . 


 


Homemade garden trellis's.  That's how they did it in the old days. Very quaint.


 

Homemade ribbons  . . .  they're all winners. Love them!


 


Blue and white dishes  . . . 


 


Beautiful gardens.  Oh how I miss the National Trust. Used to love visiting their homes and gardens.  There is nothing like that here.


 


Old timber framed houses. This is Alfriston Clergy House in Sussex. I have been to it. The Manor was timber framed also.


 

Garlicky roasted asparagus  . . . 


 

Weathervanes  . . . . 


 

Scones and tea   . . . 


 


Hellebores . . .  so pretty and the deer leave them alone . . . 


And those are my favorite things for today. I hope some of them were yours also!


A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . . . Garlic Butter Parmesan Butter Smashed Potatoes . . .  delicious, with loads of crispy bits. The small batch.


I hope you have a wonderful day. I think we are having a snowy one here in Eastern Canada.  A weather warning is in effect. We may not get what they are saying, but then again, we might!  Whatever you get up to, stay warm, be safe and don't forget!

  1. The messy storm is coming to an end here, coating of snow everywhere, but not on roads. Take care with it heading your way.
