Of food

          For lunch today I made a bean and barley salad. I didn't have all the things that the recipe called for so I kind of just made it up as I went. It was quite delicious and incredibly filling as well. I think I'm going to be making many more salads with barley, it really was tasty and easy.

I can't ever seem to make enough of these crunchy apple cinnamon muffins. I think that I should also try making them with chunks of peach or pear instead of apple inside. Sound good?

Winter Blues


 The last of my winter photos- And here is hoping that my photos will start to have a bit more green in them. :) 
Must admit though that a stunning blue sky is brilliant for photos with white sparkly snow.

Ordinary Day

I dream of accomplishing remarkable things. I have great ambitions. I imagine the feeling of satisfaction that the completion of some extraordinary achievement would bring. But I have begun to wonder if the single most remarkable accomplishment is in fact making each moment count. If in reality the greatest achievement is faithfully completing the ordinary tasks of today.  To make the most of the opportunities I have been given today, is that not success? I think it is.
