Everything good is coming up wool
I am truly blessed with my neighbor Donna. Her friendship has been such a joy for me and when we get together to chat, something wondrous seems right around the corner. This week, her daughter came with a wool dyeing kit and we got our skeins together and dyed them indigo. It was so much […]
Can’t get enough of my garden
Finally, my red tulips have arrived and with them, the blossoming of our fruit trees, all in white. How lucky I feel today to live on this island and to grow my family here. Blessed Spring!
Easter Sunday we love you
Nothing ushers in Spring like Easter Sunday. At our house, we stepped out into the morning sun, dew on the ground and set off to find what the Easter Bunny had left us.

This is it! With great love and thanks to my partner to creating this beautiful work surface. I have to say I am enamoured with my new computer/writing/research area. What better way to ponder the adventures of my dear Mabel then to look out on my rose garden and stand at this counter?
On my windowsill this evening
I just returned from a visit with my neighbor and he produced these very lovingly tended Bachelor Button plants! What a treat to look out at my garden with these great friends for company. Thanks, Ken!
Chapter One of my third Mabel Hartley story is done!
Elated today as I finished the first chapter for my third Mabel Hartley story. The first word, the first sentence, paragraph and page not to mention the first 13 pages are a bit like a trip to the dentist. You are so relieved when it’s done. And it feels so good to be back in […]
“Finally, I did it.” Financiers arrived in my home by way of my kitchen
I started making these little treats on Saturday, in fact I made the same recipe twice because I was sure I’d made a mistake. Both failed miserably but tasted out of this world. Onto another recipe on Sunday. I should have known to beware because there was no sugar called for in the recipe. I […]
