SIMPLE PLEASURES


These beautiful cherries have come all the way from America to me, me, me!

I think they are one of life's treasures.

The weather has turned cool again with cold nights (6 to 8 degrees) and cool, sunny days (around 20 to 23 ) so we are having a last spurt of lovely Winter weather.

Time for some of these ...

and these ....

and this ( pumpkin )...


and roast beef for dinner tonight.

Cheers.

  1. Sweet Helen, thanks for stopping by. Earlier this year I crocheted a big blanket for my husband and even with the ac working full blast it was terribly warm. Delicious treats you have displayed there. Enjoy a wonderous dinner!

  4. Yes, Helen, I think it would be something to see the blanket pictures with sweet Mrs Twins up a tree. Ouch! I neglected to ask yesterday, how did you prepare the pumpkin for dinner? Take care Helen....

  5. Oh Helen, thanks. I just read your June 16, 2010, posting on pumpkin. Right now you couldn't find a fresh pumpkin if your life depended on it. However, this fall I will plan on making roast pumpkin to serve with dinner. Otherwise, I've made pumpkin cheesecake, pancakes, muffins and loads of pumpkin bread. I send the breads out as little holiday gifts. One last question, is that some sort of pumpkin puree (looks almost like mashed potatoes). Looks yummmmmmmy!
