Blueberry- Lemon Muffins

With negative Temperatures this week, I need a taste of warmer weather. Lemons and Blueberries are a great combination for a light breakfast or dessert. Blueberry- Lemon Muffins

Today I came home and had this fabulous recipe in my head. When I came into the house and looked in the freezer, I was out of Chicken. I went into the garage freezer and found some Pheasant from Brandon’s winter hunt. I was excited 

Ginger, Lemon and Sea Salt Roast

Ginger, Lemon and Sea Salt Roast

On days like today, it was nice to come home to a roast in the crock pot!

After a long day of teaching inside in 74 degree weather, I decided to play outside in my front yard. I removed some rocks, re-structured some flower beds, transplanted some roses, re-built the rock bed around our maple tree and cleaned up some leaves. I even found a garter snake and named him Freddy- then I put him in the  flower bed covered him with a rock and some dirt and mulch. Naturally, I started a project and didn’t stop until Brandon forced me to come inside because we couldn’t see any more! (I HATE stopping in the middle of projects but… I don’t want to meet a bigger snake in the dark.)

It’s a start to a lot of much needed curb appeal!

We came in and dinner was already warmed and waiting to be eaten. I made a Roast and a simple side salad to go with it. Might even eat a piece of pie again for dessert.

I will leave you with this quote that a good friend sent me tonight:
“It’s impossible” said pride. “It’s risky” said experience. “It’s pointless” said reason. “Give it a try” whispered the heart!
