Happy Easter

Happy Easter from the Yellow House, to all who celebrate this glorious day!

And to everyone, Brit Boy and I wish you a wonderful Sunday! :-)

Cookie Love

It was a baking day around the Yellow House a few days ago. I made some chocolate chip cookies and this is a photo of the first few. I made a few more, but between me and Brit Boy they somehow disappeared. I wonder how that happened??? ;-)

I know it may seem that I only bake and never cook anything else, but I do cook other things...some rather healthy things, but sometimes you just need a cookie :) I thought back and realized that I haven't made chocolate chip cookies in probably twenty years. So I got all nostalgic that day and decided to make some. I've been very nostalgic lately.

By the way, they were delicious...I'm gonna have to make another batch and this time I won't wait twenty years! :-)

Rejuvenating Sundays

I had a good weekend. How was yours? :) We went into town to do some food shopping on Saturday and then Sunday, Brit Boy and I enjoyed our separate pursuits.

Brit Boy went to a football/soccer match on Sunday and I got the chance to have a Sunday like I haven't had in a long time. We love each other and enjoy spending time together, but as you all know, it's nice to have your own 'me' time sometimes. I was happy that he was able to go off and have his sporty day with his friends, just like I loved my day of doing just what I wanted to do...even if that was enjoying doing nothing ;-)




The photo above shows you a bit of my day...a little snapshot (things landed on the table in shifts, but here's a bit of what lived on the table for a bit of the day). I sat here in my favorite chair and had this little table beside me as I painted my nails, listened to my ipod, watched tv, had a snack, and kept my notepad nearby to jot stuff down. I like jotting stuff down in notebooks. I always have :-) I sometimes just draw a little picture or write a snippet of something I hope to turn into a story someday...I just love having a notepad nearby so that I can doodle or whatever...it's one of my things that I like to do. Having this time on Sunday made me realize that I need to hang out with my notebook a bit more ;-)

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday with no need to cook lunch or dinner or plan anything. It was a good rejuvenation and I needed it! By the time Brit Boy returned I was renewed. He came back home in the evening and had enjoyed the day out in London. And after having separate pursuits for the day, we were able to come together once again in the end...

I hope everybody enjoyed their weekends too! :-)

Color in the Garden

I just wanted to share some more signs of spring around the Yellow House :-) These are some of the beautiful crocuses that are growing outside. I never have to do anything and they just reveal themselves. I love that they just pop up when they're ready! Nature is beautiful!
