Beautiful Day

I love candles. I love overly strong candles that you can smell in several rooms. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Scentsy girl. Love Scentsy. But there is just something about candle light. Well, of all the places to find one is at a little Mom and Pop grocery store. They carry Yankee Candles. I, of course, had to stop and smell them all. I picked one up and couldn’t put it done. In the cart it goes. It is called Beautiful Day. It smells like a flower shop. I light it every night. I sit at my table and watch the flame. So relaxing. If you are around Yankee candles and happen to see Beautiful Day, give it a try. I think you will agree it is indeed a Beautiful Day.

I thought it was April…

The past couple of days.. ok. the past couple of weeks have been pretty nice here in Alaska. Warm weather. Sunshine. Even sea gulls which is the usual sign to fishing. Today started overcast but still on the warmish side. All of a sudden, it starts raining. No big deal. The earth needs rain right? Well, except for our yard which still has snow. I know right, snow. Anyways, back to the story. The rain was fun to watch and smells wonderful. I look back out the window and ……… WHAT!!! It is Snowing. I am not just talking a little bit either. Huge monstrous flakes that are big enough to dent your car and give a person a head injury. Unbelievable. What is this spring coming to?! So disgusted. And of course, it being Alaska the sun came out in the evening. Gotta love that. So, with any luck the white nasty stuff will melt very soon and take it’s unwanted friends in my yard with it.

Can you tell I am sick of winter? lol

Happy Easter

What a fantastic day. It started out slow but ended just great. I cleaned my craft area in the dining room all day yesterday. It looks fabulous now. Almost too clean to work from. lol Kevin made rolls which are so good that who needs ham and all the other goodies. But I made it anyways. We had the ham, potatoes, gravy and such. Didn’t go all out this year. Kept it very simple. Forgot to get supplies for pies but had a cake mix. I added red food coloring to make a red velvet cake. I’m guessing it wasn’t enough red because the cake was beautiful shade of pink. Worked out great. I hope that you all had a good day. Let’s not forget why we celebrate it. The song “Who Am I” from Casting Crowns reminds me every time I hear it. Look it up if you don’t know it. I think you will like it.
