Do you know the Flower Fairy books
by Cicely Mary Barker?
I opened the page on the Primrose Fairy.
Isn't she lovely?
There's a poem to match each fairy too!
I really appreciate the fact that we can find beautiful potted flowers
during these winter months.
I picked three of my primroses to put on the Primrose Fairy page!
Of course, we're getting light snowfalls here in town and it looks so pretty
when it settles on the trees and bushes and in the gardens.
I just love this garden gate. Don't you?
The red berries got a good covering of fluffy snow.
and the evergreens in the nearby park looked beautiful.
It's the perfect weather for Cheese Raclette!
It's a combination of small potatoes in their jackets
and a special kind of raclette cheese which is tasty and melts easily.
I used two types of cheese:
Bagnes and Alpages.
A nice crunchy carrot salad on the side and a turn of the pepper mill on the cheese.
You can read more about raclette when I did an evening cruise on the lake:
More colour to bring into the home in the form of a beautiful bouquet of tulips.
They are still in bud and will bring me great joy as they open up.
I chose this photo for my new blog header. The frame is bright and cheerful
to bring you some happy colour in these winter months!
There's always something on my crochet hook.
I'm going to make a garland with these hearts and I'll be posting the finished decoration
in a future blog post.
