{February Happenings}

  Well our February Florida weather is cool in the mornings, warm during the day and cool at night. Which to be honest, suits me! But, we can't have perfect weather that suits us all can we? This weather has had me in the baking mode though. I saved a few apples from our mountain trip and baked an apple bundt cake to freeze for a Sunday dinner sweet.  Decided to whip up a batch of Kitty's shortbread spritz cookies. They weren't as pretty as hers but oh they would melt in your mouth. Be sure to pop over to see her recipe.  https://www.kittyskozykitchen.com/2025/01/impossibly-easy-ham-and-swiss-pie-and.html#more I had some left over deer venison and decided to make a Venison and Penne Casserole. Was a hit with Marty and his dad. But, we love all things venison around her neck of the woods.  One day I had some broccoli that was going to go bad if not used so whipped up a little comfort soup. Broccoli and shedder cheese soup.  My oldest granddaughter Raygen bought h...

{Have you gotten Spring Fever yet?}

Well Spring has officially arrived according to the calendar but the weather part of Spring in Florida can change in a day! LOL!   I love my little wishing well. My dad built this for me 22 years ago and it sure has held many a hanging basket! A friend of mine told me recently that she had Spring Fever bad and that she was wanting to get outside and play in the dirt. What is Spring Fever to you?     Simple Definition of spring fever : a feeling of wanting to go outdoors and do things because spring is coming and the weather is getting warmer     Another definition says; a lazy or restless feeling often associated with the onset of spring  I'm getting a hankering to play with some herbs again. Now making the time to do that has been a nother story. But I have been busy doing other things such as.....

{This and That and Happy Easter}

Well it seems I am bouncing around right now from one thing to another. I've been doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. What have you been up to this week? Baby girl carried me to a few of my "hot spots" for thrifting recently so found these cuties at a Goodwill. And NO I didn't need them but as one of my sisterinlove's would say, "It's not a matter of if I need it....I just WANT IT!  Won't this be cute this Fall? Watching the grandgirl play some ball is always fun... Watching my grandgirls fight over who will get to feel the baby move is always funny! They all won this time around though. Had a little birthday celebration with my mom and two of her friends for her 76th birthday. Nothing sweeter than the bond of friendship. I saw this on Wendy Saunder's Creative post (she is on P interest) and I loved it. Isn't this just the cutest? I may need to fix the front of my li...
