Happy Thursday, friends! I hope you've managed to find some happiness this past week. All you have to do is look around and I bet you find something to like. I'll share what I've sound this past week with you.
I've been reading Chris Whitaker's "All the Colors of the Dark" and have been enjoying it. It's beautifully written and reminds me of the style in "Where the Crawdads Sing". Of course the subject is entirely different but both are use colorful language.
The storyline in this book is interesting but I do find that it drags a bit at times. Maybe the prose is just a little too rich for me? I'm definitely curious to see how this one is going to end so I'll keep reading.
On the culinary front, I saved this recipe from a 2022 calendar and finally got around to making it. Truly a comfort dish!
I also saw a container of blueberries that seemed to be hanging out a little too long in the fridge so I made a lemon blueberry cake. So yummy and Mom really loved it!
You can find Carole's recipe on her From My Carolina Home blog right HERE. It's easy and delicious!
What has kept me very happy lately? I've been quilting up a top most recenly. I love free-motion quilting!! Here's a peek ....
Have you noticed lately how dark it stays in the morning? Gracie and I have been leaving a little later on our walks because it's just so dang dark still at 6:45. The other morning as the sun was starting to light up the sky, I noticed this beautiful X in the sky. I hope it brightens your day too!
Have a great Thursday, everyone! You can find more "interesting" things at LeeAnna's Not Afraid Of Color blog where we all share things to like.
Yes, it has been dark. Last year at this time our dog got sprayed by a skunk since it was still out and about! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteYikes AND yuck! That hasn't happened to my dog (yet). I do get nervous that she'll accidentally come across a coyote in the evenings though. Hope you have a fun weekend planned!
DeleteYour book sounds interesting! I'll have to put it in my library hold list. Yummy recipes, too. I always like Carole's recipes. It is definitely dark in the mornings here - at least we can see the sunrises this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI just finished the book and it was good. Now I see I made it to being 1st on the list for "Run on Red", a book recommended to me by the receptionist where I take Mom to P/T. I just love picking up recommendations from anywhere & everywhere! Lol! Looking forward to seeing your Hollow Nines finished up this weekend!
DeleteLove the that skeleton pillow. And the cake looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love that pillow too. It was fun to make. I believe the pattern came from an American Patchwork & Quilting magazine many moons ago. Thanks for the visit!
Deleteawe, Gracie.... it's a bit cooler in the mornings as the sun is so hot here at high altitudes.
