Blogging has taken a back seat to other things, but it's time to dive in and join with Judith for
Mosaic Monday. The photos are from awhile ago, when nothing but snowdrops were outdoors and crocuses bloomed inside.
An amaryllis flower joined them, months after Christmas.
With weather fluctuations, comfort food in the form of whole wheat buns, cinnamon twirls and post-Easter French pea soup filled the house with good aromas.
The forsythia has yet to flower outside, but branches came indoors,
vibrant yellow flowers arrived and then faded away, as have the
snowdrops and crocuses in the garden.
For those who had followed the story of my foster cat, Cameo, the news is great. She was adopted into a wonderful home; one of her roommates is a certified therapy dog! I have a special place in my heart for the people who took in a 9 year cat. Better with age, right?
Have a lovely week.

Hi Karen, I was just thinking of you yesterday and wondering how you are. I'm glad to know all is well and life is busy for you. Your mosaics are nice, especially the food one. :) All the flowers are beautiful. I'm glad Cameo had found her new home. Hopefully spring weather will be on the way soon for us all. It's just downright nasty the past week here. Take care. Hugs. Pam

It is so lovely to catch up with you and your news. I am so pleased about Cameo, what a wonderful new home that must be for her, and you are right those to rehome an older pet are wonderful - but so are those to care for one in the meantime too!! That means you by the way!! xx

ReplyDeleteKaren, looking at your flower pictures and your watermark on your photos, I had to laugh! Our work looks so much alike! I love taking photos of all the flowers in my garden here in Kentucky. Our spring is definitely ahead of yours. I would love for you to check out our similarities at MyHumbleHomeandGarden.com.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of the amaryllis and happy for Cameo.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging and looking forward to more.
Congrats to Cameo, I hope she loves her new home. Your flowers are lovely and the food all looks so yummy.. Wonderful images and post, have a happy new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteMy forsythia is just blooming...was cold again last week here....
ReplyDeleteNice to see you blogging again Karen although as our gardens beckon, I'm sure we'll not be on the computer as much.
ReplyDeleteI think we get better with age and it's so nice to hear Cameo now has her forever home.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday - as you can see it takes me a while to get around to everyone. :-)
Hello Karen, I'm just about to start up again as well. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging! Your wheat buns look so delicious, and your flowers and kitty brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about Cameo yesterday! So SO SO HAPPY FOR HER!! She is such a beauty and has wisdom in her eyes!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see a post from you with such a variety of goodies. Firstly, I was glad to hear of Cameo's happy new home; I'm sure she will be very comfortable and well loved. You are quite the cook and baker - I love cinnamon buns, but have always been a little nervous about working with yeast. All your creations look scrumptious! Lastly, your flowers are so pretty shining in the springtime sun. I am awaiting your peonies. I will finally get to enjoy these favourites of mine, very soon, as I will be arriving early May, to spend time with my daughter, my family, and to help my sister look for a new house and Liberty a new apartment. Can't wait!!
Have a lovely Tuesday!
Poppy
I can almost smell those good things in your kitchen, Karen.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that Cameo has a happy ending! Lovely flowers and the food is making me very hungry! xo K
