Thankful

Certain days are just like that...simply perfect.
Nothing special happens but our hearts are light and joy can be felt in every cell of our bodies. Songs are constantly in our heads and our feet are dancing every step we take.
I try to be very conscious of those days and make reserves for the rainy days that are bound to come now and then.
Today was such a day.
I spent time with my yarns and dyes. I also made lots of soap...it smells good in the house. And I even baked.
A wonderful walk around our fields with the alpacas watching and following me.
 Coco and Fiona have grown so much over the winter. They are now 9 mths old.

I hope Coco keeps that curiousness as she matures.
I love these animals. They are calm and gentle.

A face everyone can love!
I'm so envious of those eyelashes.

Fiona

Fiona's mom, Alicia.
I love this shot.
Alpacas make the most of every day.
I'm so thankful for what they bring to my life.

On another note, I want to tell you about a new blog out in blogland. Dairy Free and Delicious is a cooking blog for those of us with dairy allergies.
Sara, the blog's author and cook by excellence, has posted several recipes that I will be trying in the next few weeks.
Tonight I made her Raspberry Lemon Cupcakes...mmm...delicious!
No icing on mine but the taste of raspberries with lemon and almond extract make the best tasting cupcakes ever!


I hope your weekend brought you joy!

Quality time

Last week, our grand daughter spent a few days with us because she was too sick to go to the daycare. This week, the daycare provider was too sick to take any of the children!
So we've spent lots of quality time with bébé O.
I know, she's too old to be called a baby especially when she refers to herself as a 'grande fille' (big girl).
She is such a joy to have around, so talkative and observant.
When we cooked muffins, she wanted to participate.

And of course, help clean up!


Now, how about a warm apple muffin?

Added a few yarns to my Etsy shop this week, very little time to spend with my yarns...where did February go?
