They don't visit as often as they used to because some animal has been raiding our feeders, and they seem to stay empty all the time. Sigh.<br /><br />Oh, your flower bouquet is SO beautiful! I would love to be able to walk out my door and pick such a bouquet. Yes, I love the look of those delicate, new green leaves every spring. I told Hal they look like baby leaves. :D<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Lorrie, and enjoy your lovely spring!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttps://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2019/04/a-pastel-spring-tablescape.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-91759361723108753292019-04-19T14:23:46.527-07:002019-04-19T14:23:46.527-07:00Beautiful blue sky.

The story of the salt incident was priceless, It is great that the friends took it with a " grain of salt", pun intended. ~smile~I agree it is amazing to me that so many young folks don't know how to cook, I have been baking and cooking since I was very young too! <br />Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comment.<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-6580067052313416112019-04-10T08:33:29.109-07:002019-04-10T08:33:29.109-07:00I so enjoyed your newsy post today, Lorrie. A litt...I so enjoyed your newsy post today, Lorrie. A little of this and that. Your lemon curd sounds delicious and thank you for the recipe. Your downy woodpecker makes my heart happy. They are such lovely birds. We have a pair that come to the feeders in winter. And tend to drill on our deck posts. Haha And then the American Robin -- I heard the tweet of my first robin of the season last night -- it was a heart cracker. Those hawks sure know how to make a flock scatter into the bushes. We see that on occasion in our backyard. It gets so still then. And quiet. One kestrel stayed in our yard for several hours once, hoping for a chance at a stray sparrow, but I think he went away unsuccessful. I was glad for the sparrow but sorry for the hawk. <br /><br />Wishing you a beautiful day, Lorrie. <br />Brenda xox<br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-84340049551615893902019-04-10T05:25:24.459-07:002019-04-10T05:25:24.459-07:00Oops!

Blogger is still not quite up to par around these parts, frustrating.<br />Love lemon curd, used to make it with mother as a girl - along with her other great jams, apricot and Victoria plum. Learned to cook/bake early and, like you, could rustle up a 3-course meal at an early age, and still enjoy cooking more than eating out!<br /><br />Lovely post Lorrie.<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-55451262223633339472019-04-10T02:53:31.161-07:002019-04-10T02:53:31.161-07:00A post full of loveliness.

Of course, my husband loves it as well, being from the UK, so we are going to give it a try the next time we are cooking together.

Yikes! I've left out sale in a recipe by mistake, but never put too much. My mother was not a very creative cook--she did not like cooking at all, so in a way that made my brothers and I good cooks as we often took over the chore from her and we tried new recipes all the time. When I married my husband I made an effort to learn all his favorite Italian dishes. My problem is like food too much..haha!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-48655674534886672322019-04-09T17:28:56.952-07:002019-04-09T17:28:56.952-07:00Absolutely beautiful photographs.

It smelled SO wonderful!! A gazillion plants, I guess, and all that water...<br /><br />I was just today looking at a big bag of lemons in my fridge and thinking: Lemon Curd!! I received a bag of Meyer lemons for my birthday, and soon I am visiting my citrus-rich siblings who may send me home with more. Lemon curd makes one of the nicest gifts, I think.

When I got married I suddenly realized I had to cook and didn't even know how to make breakfast eggs. My trusty cookbook, a wedding gift, was a life saver. <br />Your spring looks just wonderful. Lemon curd definitely is lovely in the spring. I came across a rose water cake recipe that has lemon curd in between the layers, thinking this might be fun for Easter. It is in the new Victoria Magazine issue.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-9571864552681444292019-04-08T17:52:52.091-07:002019-04-08T17:52:52.091-07:00I enjoyed the walk to the big a lot , I felt I was...I enjoyed the walk to the big a lot , I felt I was right there, I make lemon curd the same way!
