Quote of the Day “As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness — just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.” ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp: I like to bring this crisp to potlucks. I think people are so curious about rhubarb because so few people cook with it, that it’s gone within minutes. No joke.

I like the quote today. Thanks.
Mavis Butterfield says
Me too. 🙂
Sue R. says
Your quote made me think of this poem I like so much:
“I have found such joy in simple things;
A plain clean room, a nut-brown loaf of bread,
A cup of milk, a kettle as it sings,
The shelter of a roof above my head,
And in a leaf-laced square along a floor,
Where yellow sunlight glimmers through a door.
I have found such joy in things that fill
My quiet days; a curtain’s blowing grace,
A potted plant upon my window sill,
A rose fresh-cut and placed within a vase,
A table cleared, a lamp beside a chair,
And books I long have loved beside me there.”
Grace Noll Crowell
Enjoy your everyday!
Ellen in Clackamas says
that is lovely Sue. I have made a copy to hang above my desk
Sue R. says
I’m glad you like it, too. Can’t you just picture what she’s describing?
Mavis Butterfield says
LOVE this.
Jennifer says
I made the strawberry rhubarb crisp yesterday. I added walnuts and cinnamon to the crumble. It was delightful- thanks!
Staci says
Wow, a slinking creature!? Any chance of a photo? I’m really curious. All the things I can think of that slink, would be on the nocturnal side and heading in rather than out. Hmmm
By the by, I love your blog – I slink in everyday to see what you’re up to, get some inspiration (bought a Mantis (her name is MaTILLda) 3 weeks ago, pretty much solely on your experience), pin some recipes, add even more things to my amazon subscribe & save list, and drool over your house and garden. Love it! Oh, and the bakeries and tea rooms!!
Thank you Mavis for your quirkiness! You being you, inspires me to be me. 🙂
Mavis Butterfield says
MaTILLda is a way better name than Manny! Love it!
