Happy Spring!

 

Outside my window . . .  Two weeks ago this is what it looked like.  We had a  huge winter storm, and got 12 inches of new snow!  It was crazy, especially for this time of year.  The snow was extremely heavy and wet,  but it was much needed water for our high desert home.

While the storm was raging outside, we were comfy, cozy in the house.  We were watching, Averi while her parents were on a trip for 12 days.  It was so much fun, and I missed her so much when they came home.  

This is what it looked like this morning... what a difference a few weeks make!!

On my playlist . . . In memory of my beautiful mom, who would have been 96 today.  Mom loved Andy Williams, and she especially loved this song, Moon River.  In fact it was one of the songs that my very talented niece played on the piano at her funeral.  It was beautiful!

Right now I am . . . I'm watching a show on Netflix called, Unknown: Cave of Bones.  It's super interesting!  It's a documentary about a species that lived over 250,000 years ago.  I don't know about you guys, but I love documentaries!  

What I'm reading . . . I've been reading a book called, Divine Signature by, Gerald N. Lund.  Very interesting. 

In my kitchen . . . Today I made these delicious, copycat, Cookie Crumble, Cosmic Brownie cookies.  Oh my goodness, these are delicious!  You are suppose to frost them, but I like them just like they are.  They're very chocolatey, but not too sweet.  These are very big, probably 1/3 cup of cookie dough per cookie.  I made some that are just a tablespoon of dough so that I could enjoy one...  yum!  Here's the recipe

What I'm creating . . .  I'm still working on my afghan.  But I'm having a hard time working on it because of this cuteness . . . oh, my!  She's such a handful, but we get so much joy from her being in our home. 💓

I'm looking forward to . . . One last birthday this month!  Here are a few photos of my birthday grands.  Only one more to go!  I just love these amazing grandsons.  They are so precious and important to us, each one of them.  We were even able to talk to Brody, in Croatia on his birthday, that was the highlight of our day!!  

Just sayin' . . . I'm so inconsistent with posting on this little space in blogland.  I have thought seriously about just calling it quits and feeling grateful for the time I have spent here.  I have loved all of the memories I have captured with my camera, and all of the fun that I've had through the years.  Most of them are here, on my little blog!  I will continue to post, but it will be sporadic.  I hope that I can continue with all the friends that I've made here, but if not, I totally understand, it's hard to keep up when you don't see me very often.  Until the next time...

Be safe.  XOXOX

Hugs and Love,
