Wordless Wednesday

Weekend of Gratitude

Halfway through this four day holiday, and the kitchen is still overflowing with all manner of food - including the plump burgundy beets meant for a salad to bring to our final Sunday feast with friends...

Early last week I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of the cymbidium orchids on the deck had sent out a flower spike - it's now sitting next to the kitchen sink, a lovely distraction from yet another round of dishwashing.....

Grateful for wonderful food, a comforting home and gifts from the garden....
Hope your weekend is full of pleasant distractions!
