I got myself a smaller tree after my divorce because I don't want to kill myself getting things down from the rafters. I still get some of the lighter stuff down but I'm good with what I've done.

Yeah, but... my bowl of soup after making my stock yesterday. I garnished it with a drizzle of soy sauce and a dollop of chili garlic sauce for just the right amount of heat for me.

I've completed another quilt. The pattern is called Courthouse steps, or stairs. I'm still learning. And im learning about patterns colors and placement from this one. I still love the fabrics and colors.
My friend who is getting this one's name is Rosie. The backing fabric was for that reason.

Homemade puttanesca with prawns. I'd normally serve it over fettuccine or spaghetti but that was the only ingredient I didn't have so I improvised with the rotini.

This is where thousands of snow geese winter. Trumpeter swans as well. This photo may be dreary but when the birds are there you'd think it had only snowed on the fields. It's truly amazing.
