Blueberry Muff-yums!

Fresh Blueberries!


Back in a delightful June day in Kansas(betcha never thought you'd hear that sentence ever spoken!). The temperature hovered around 78 degrees, the golden sun shone brightly, and the cerulean prairie sky wrapped the scenery. I talked my family into taking me blueberry picking. We have a wonderful patch about 10 miles from the house(that's barely 10 minutes away on the highway) What a bonanza! We picked about 5 lbs. of berries(about $12.00 worth.) I froze them as soon as we got home and have been sneaking them in here and there for a month now and never showed you any of the treats I tried. Well, using this recipe:Blueberry muffin recipe, I have a winner!!!!! They are absolutely delicious and the blogger who wrote this recipe down is right about how inviting their appearance is. The smell through the house was incredible: the butter in the topping browning and mingling with the cinnamon, had everyone in my house at the kitchen ready to go way before the buzzer went off.








Suffice it to say, what a way to substitiute lunch with a delightful treat and I can say I got my "fruit" today. LOL.

Sneak peek at the hexagon project.....stay tuned!

Darling Discovery!

There once was a bunny who wouldn't leave our yard......

We followed her to this suspicious looking pile of fur and grass.......




And there we found four new furry family members.......



My youngest DS and I are the most smitten with these little sweeties, we check on the every morning and make sure that nothing disturbs them, especially:
The Big Bear of the Backyard-Dusty



Have a marvelous Monday!

Loverrly Hexagons....


I'm sooo in love with this pattern, well, maybe not the pattern but the colors, well, maybe not the colors, the yarn, well I can't put my finger on why I love this project so much. I'm up to 15 darling, hooky, kooky hexagons.
I'm a mother hen without all her chicks at home this week. My 2 oldest are on vacation with their dad in Colorado. I sure hope they are safe and happy.
