Life just seems to be pulling us in several directions lately--ordinary stuff but extra busy all the same.
No matter what, some rest and relaxation must be fit in.
We managed to get out cross country skiing once before much of the snow melted. It was a very cold, but beautifully sunny day that gave the pictures that blue light...
We passed by some of the trees marked for sugaring...
...and the sugar shack waiting for its new roof...
Every bird's nest was visible, capped with puffy snow...
And time for tea is not to be missed, no matter how hectic life becomes.
Today, with tea, I had a piece of pineapple skillet upside down cake that I made yesterday, and you can find the recipe here.Yum!
beautiful photos, and what a yummy sounding recipe - I will have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYum.....thanks for sharing this...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fresh photos too!
Yummy! I can't wait to try the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI just love your photo's, the birds nest is so sweet topped with snow. Glad you were able to spend an enjoyment time together.
Oh the pictures of the snao are so welcome to me suffering in heat right now. I love the birds nest, and long for a cosy cuppa on a cool day :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are wonderful. They look much like here. We are enjoying skating.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes,

Sounds Yummy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that all is well with you. Loved the photos, but pardon my ignorance, what is sugaring?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics. xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't it hard sometimes, with all the blogging and baking and crafting we want to do, to fit in the magazine reading, the tea/coffee and the sit-down relaxation time?!
ReplyDeleteI set two magazines on my kitchen table yesterday - Country Gardening and Mother Earth News... put my blankie in the dryer to warm it up and had every intention of sitting on the couch to enjoy a relaxing read. Never did it. Got sidetracked in all the "to-do's". As usual. My husband was NOT surprised. LOL
Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend!
Our snow is all gone - I have to say that I miss it. It's much cheerier than grey and mud. Those photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe little bird's nest is so sweet. So many things we think of as beautiful in the warmer months are just as lovely in winter.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes,
Elizabeth
So pretty & cozy - with the tea afterwards. Yumm.
ReplyDeleteI loved the bird nest picture.
Magical photos! I'm glad you have spent some quality time together. I would love to try cross-country skiiing! Our snow has all gone now to be replaced by muddy, wet and grey days.
ReplyDeleteOh well spring will be here in no time!

Oh Deb,
ReplyDeleteYou just had to post a link for that recipe didn't you? :) It was delicious. I too savored mine with a cup of tea, Lady Grey.
I love the photos, especially the bird's nest, too precious!
Have a blessed evening!

What lovely photos, I am glad you have enjoyed the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteSo peaceful, your pictures are beautiful Deb.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Love your beautiful snow scenes. Nothing like a sunny day after the storm. In Michigan I am ice skating on the lake in front of my house and hope to keep the rink open in spite of more predicted snow. Meanwhile I will try the pineapple upside down cake recipe. Sounds a bit lighter than my mother's gooey rich recipe from long ago. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures, makes those of us "down state" so jealous! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos, but pardon my ignorance, what is sugaring?
