home and hearth weekend: day one

I must say that a weather forecast of a sublime seventy-seven degrees leads this mama's mind into all sorts of deliciousness.
thoughts of scrubbing with windows open.
baking cookies.
meandering through the gardens... maybe whispering love words here and there.
here's how that played out for us today...















a lovely start to the weekend.

    I'm not leaving the garden/kitchen today at all if I can help it.

    Hey, we have those yellow plums too (from our local fruit share). They are soooooooooo good. Did you make jam with them? I may try that next week, if there's any left after 20 minutes.

    Inoureyes -
    Snickerdoodles! :)

    Miss Nettle- we have a tree... I've always dismissed them until this year. They are actually really good.
    Before they were some mystery fruit, and I tried them after they were yucky, and over done... this year I've tried them, and like them!
    They're Mirabelle plums, I've recently found out.
    And yes! I started jam yesterday and will finish it today (it had to sit over night).
