Five Favourites of the Week

 

This week has had many lovely moments. Nothing dramatic, but ordinary days have a sweetness all their own. 

Our hike on Monday was a highlight - all that fresh air, blue sky, and stunning scenery was a tonic.

I made a Leek Tart for the first time. Easy and delicious. Too much for the two of us for a meal, but leftovers are always welcome for lunches. 

Until the past week or two our temperatures have been quite warm and the poor roses keep trying to bloom. Still pretty even when tiny and frozen. 

Two loaves of bread, sliced and put into the freezer. Of course there is always a slice or two to be eaten while warm. 

A bunch of tulips made their way into my grocery cart. Isn't it interesting how tulips lengthen in the vase and have to be cut down every few days? 

It has taken awhile, but I certainly do know it now ­­– the most wonderful gift I had, the gift I finally learned to cherish above all else, was the gift of all those perfectly ordinary days.                            Katrina Kenison
