My Favorite Things . . .

 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . 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.  Let's share!

*The strength of your spirit

is not measured by the storms

you avoid, but by the way

you rise with grace and courage

through them.

I'm sharing an old Nova Scotia recipe in the EK today. Traditional Nova Scotia Hodge Podge.  A much beloved Maritime classic, created by using fresh, young summer vegetables . . .  carrots, beans, peas, new potatoes, cauliflower, etc. in a creamy buttery broth. Simple and delicious.

I hope you have a lovely day today. It's raining heavily here today, and that's not a bad thing. We need the rain. I just wish it didn't make it so dark in my house. Oh well!  Whatever you get up to today, I hope it brings you peace and joy. Don't forget!
