Today I made a sweet rhubarb syrup that I read was good in yogurt or on a simple cake. I love a simple yogurt or olive oil cake, which is what I think the syrup will be used on. Now to decide about all the figs in the freezer.<br />I will have to keep that in mind if I get hungry and happen to be in your part of the world. I will know where to find food. Ha! A bag of lemons came home from the market today. We do have some ripe ones in the gardenhouse, but we just can't have enough lemons. So hungry for a lemon pie. Thanks for the link. Your stacked linens are so beautiful too. What a good tip to hang them.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-21522394360059522082019-01-19T13:34:25.783-08:002019-01-19T13:34:25.783-08:00Love the pretty colours of your quilt.

I like the Edith Sitwell quote. 'The touch of a friendly hand' makes her sound very human. There's a well known portrait of her by Roger Fry in Sheffield Museums art gallery. Thinking of the Sitwells makes me want to revisit local Renishaw Hall which was a family country home. The garden is lovely especially when the bluebells are out and then later on the magnolias.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-79738462908163801652019-01-19T01:07:36.690-08:002019-01-19T01:07:36.690-08:00What a lovely colourful post!

I am finding more time for the slow-living type of homey pursuits than I expected this winter -- maybe because I'm not sick or traveling!<br /><br />Is the recipe for chard and bean dip on your recipe site? That sounds very useful in the winter!<br /><br />The Tilda fabric is lovely and you made beautiful use of it as well. All the coziest activities!

What lovely images you have shared and ...Hi Lorrie! What lovely images you have shared and the Swiss chard looks delicious! Winter is the time for comfort food and I made a huge pot of turkey soup this week which we have been enjoying on these cold days. I think today it may be macaroni and cheese because I have been craving it the past couple of days. I may even throw in some meat balls since Hubby likes them so much. I saw some pretty tulips at the grocery this week but I didn't get any for myself. Chances are, I will get some for my mother to perk her up. Confined to her bed in a nursing home, her days are long and dreary this time of year. Alas, we are expecting a bad storm this Sunday into Monday and we Islanders are trying to prepare. Hours of freezing rain after the snow blows in isn't a very cheery forecast and they're already talking about power outages. It's not a pleasant weekend ahead but not much can be done about the weather when it turns beastly. Spring can't come soon enough! Your post was lovely and I enjoyed hearing your news. Love the sweet pillow you made! Have a wonderful weekend, Lorrie.
