Early morning is my favorite time to pick berries--the air is cool and the song birds are happily singing. The only other sound is that of bees buzzing or the hens clucking.
My reward, besides the basket of berries, is a freshly baked lemon cake with my mid-morning pot of tea.
How do you reward yourself for work well done?
Oh my, that cake looks wonderful! My reward today was reading:) I highly recommend The Light Between the Oceans, M.L. Stedman I cannot put it down, so my work will have to wait until tomorrow:)) Darby
ReplyDeleteLove love your blog, calms me just reading your posts...thank you. The cake look great as does the book, thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteMy reward is usually putting my feet up, a bit of needlework of some kind and yes....a pot of tea with something sweet! I just made blackberry cobbler and we have the exact same toaster! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy reward is usually internet time. But I think my next reward is going to be that cake, YUM!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog and your Pintrest boards. Trying to bring a 110 yr. old farmhouse back to life and so many good ideas.
ReplyDeleteRewarding myself...Deb, I'm on a journey of deliberately slowing down to enjoy tea (from a teacup, made in a pot), and cake (served on a plate, with a fork)....seated....even if I'm on my own...and not: mug, in hand, standing....thinking about the next "to-do."
ReplyDeleteAs I remind myself so often: I only have "now."
Lovely. Thanks for your lemon cake link with the errata reminder, I have that book and wouldn't have thought to check. Just visited your Ravelry page, beautiful outcomes!
ReplyDeleteYour photographs make everyday life beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTea and cake are a lovely reward! I'm looking forward to Berry season here too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture of your life there. Love lemon cake!

I live for simple summer pleasures especially since our season is so short. Thanks for sharing.
