Chocolate-Covered Nutella Marshmallow Cookies 

I saw these and thought of my sister, who can put away a whole jar of nutella in one week.  I’ll be saving this recipe for when she comes back home in the fall!

I think I would like one of these in my back woods.  How lovely!

I LOVE this recipe!  Can’t wait to try it out for my friends with gluten allergies.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Some of the first results from my garden are radishes.  The fresh ones are so much sweeter and milder than the ones from the store!  The are perfect in this recipe:

Five spice filet and sweet potato kebabs with fresh radish and pineapple salad. Yum!

Oh to have an indoor/outdoor home.  It would be so nice…

Oh, to be a bug in my Swiss Chard; the neon jungle of adventure.

My mother bought me some beautiful pink zinnias this past weekend.  I love how the color brightens up my back deck!

I don’t like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It’s just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
