Spring is Bursting out all over! And Thea's Birthday!


The crabapple tree in the front yard. The one time out of the year that the tree looks nice.

The lilac bush in the back yard. We've had such a lovely cool spring that the lilacs have actually been in bloom for about a month!


Yummmm - cupcake recipes! Thanks Auntie Anne!



Ooooh and a beautiful apron!

Here's Thea making one of the cupcake recipes!

Notice how the cupcake cups are arranged.

And here are the finished cupcakes. They were delicious!

And here a couple of pictures of my friend Steve's amazing garden. I took these photos today (May 29). These are tree peonies!! Aren't they amazing. I've uploaded more photos of Steve's amazing garden on Flickr.

Your crabapple tree and lilacs look fantastic (our lilacs haven't bloomed yet). Thea, the cupcakes look really fantastically yummy. It puts me in the mood to bake!

Knitting and Party Outfits

First, inspired by Brooklyn Tweed's lovely striped Noro scarf, I have started knitting my own Noro striped scarf. Here's a photo of the work in progress. Second, in a wild and crazy mid-life crisis kind-of-moment, I purchased a wild and crazy (for me) party dress. Here's a picture of Hart and I off to Auntie Gloria's party. I felt I needed to do this before I turn 50 and while my weight was down. I AM planning on keeping the weight off. The secret to getting on a dress like this (which has a lining that you can't see) is to leave it on the hanger and "dive" up to the light. If you don't do this, you risk getting tangled in the lining. You also have to watch how you sit since you don't want to bend the sequins when you sit down. I can report that the party was wonderful, the food was great, the decor was beautiful and it was great to see people we haven't seen in a while.

Cookie Jar

My sister Anne discovered some retro cookie jars recently and one of them reminded her of the one that was in our house when we were growing up. A search of the archives has turned up this photo. You can see our actual cookie jar on the kitchen counter. I remember taking this picture and thinking that the contents of the cupboard would be interesting to us in the far distant future.
