Weekend of Gratitude

Halfway through this four day holiday, and the kitchen is still overflowing with all manner of food - including the plump burgundy beets meant for a salad to bring to our final Sunday feast with friends...


Early last week I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of the cymbidium orchids on the deck had sent out a flower spike - it's now sitting next to the kitchen sink, a lovely distraction from yet another round of dishwashing.....


Grateful for wonderful food, a comforting home and gifts from the garden....
Hope your weekend is full of pleasant distractions!

Beacon of Peace in a Stormy World


Joining Jane's Flowers in the House  gathering with a simple shot of the variegated spathiphyllum (Peace Lily) that sits and thrives on the table in our front room...
Hope everyone on the East Coast gets through the next few days relatively unscathed.

Peace out.
